Daniel Day-Lewis looks set for Oscar success after being nominated for an Academy Award for his role in Lincoln.
A win would make it a hat-trick of best actor Oscar wins for the British-born star, who has already taken home Oscars for My Left Foot in 1989 and There Will Be Blood in 2007.
But the actor will face strong competition from Denzel Washington for Flight, Hugh Jackman for Les Miserables, Bradley Cooper for Silver Linings Playbook and Joaquin Phoenix for The Master.
Set for success: Daniel Day-Lewis has been nominated for an Oscar for his role in Lincoln
Breaking the news: Seth Macfarlane and Emma Stone announced the news in Los Angeles on Thursday morning
On the female front, Naomi Watts is up for The Impossible - the only British-born actress in this category - Jessica Chastain for Zero Dark Thirty, Jennifer Lawrence for Silver Linings Playbook, Emmanuelle Riva for Amour and Quvenzhané Wallis for Beasts of the Southern Wild.
British actors didn’t get a look in in either of the supporting acting categories - while Judi Dench had been tipped for a nomination for Skyfall and Maggie Smith for Quartet, neither appeared as the nominations were announced.
Instead, Sally Field has been nominated for her role in Lincoln, but is up against Anne Hathaway for Les Miserables, Jacki Weaver for Silver Linings Playbook, Helen Hunt for The Sessions and Amy Adams for The Master.
On screen chemistry: Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper have both been nominated for their roles in Silver Linings Playbook
Tragic story: British-born actress Naomi Watts was nominated for her role in The Impossible
From one extreme to the other: Beasts of the Southern Wild star Quvenzhané Wallis, nine, is the youngest actress to be nominated, while Amour's Emmanuelle Riva is the oldest at 85
It was as if Oscar voters only had eyes for mostly American, and a few Aussie, performers.
For supporting actor, Django Unchained's Christoph Waltz will be competing against Philip Seymour Hoffamn for The Master, Robert De Niro for Silver Linings Playbook, Alan Arkin for Argo and Tommy Lee Jones for Lincoln for Best Supporting Actor.
James Bond movie Skyfall took five nominations including Adele for best song but it failed to make the Best Picture cut.
It was hoped that Skyfall, which has taken over $1billion globally, would be the 007 picture to break the curse and be among the best film nominees.
Tipped for success: Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman are up for their roles in Les Miserables
Sure to be a good awards season: Jessica Chastain is nominated for her role in Zero Dark Thirty
But it wasn’t to be. Instead Skyfall took technical citations including cinematography, editing, mixing and best score.
All nine movies up for Best Film have what’s known as Oscar 'pedigree' and perhaps Bond would have looked too out of place. And what a shame.
Even The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey was given short shrift and was handed just three nominations for below the line fare such as make-up and hair, production design and visual effects.
But we should rejoice at the success of Les Miserables. Eric Fellner, one of the film’s London–based producers at Working Title, noted that the film has taken over $200million globally and has yet to open in many countries.
Dressed to impress: Emma looked cute in a white dress with black belt, while Oscar host Seth opted for a grey suit and blue shirt
It bodes well! Macfarlane was hilarious during the nominations, boding well for when he hosts the Oscars
It garnered eight satisfying nominations although director Tom Hooper was snubbed.
Ahead of Les Mis was Lincoln with 12, Ang Lee’s Life of Pi with 11, then Les Miserables and Silver lings both with eight.
Ben Affleck’s film Argo took seven nominations. French film Armour held five along with Django Unchained, Zero Dark Thirty and our old friend 007.
Strong competition: Naomi and Jennifer, both seen here at the People's Choice Awards on Wednesday night, will be battling it out for Best Actress
Where was my nomination? Many are sure to think Ben Affleck was snubbed by not getting an actor of director nod for Argo
British film Anna Karenina was named in four categories – cinematography, costume design, original score and production design but all of the actors including Keira Knightley and Jude Law were denied nominations.
This year's nominations come earlier than usual in Hollywood's long awards season, leaving the awards picture a bit murkier.
By the time Oscar nominations come out most years, the Golden Globes already have given their trophies, helping to sort out prospective front-runners for show business' biggest night.
The nominations this time precede the Golden Globes ceremony, which follows on Sunday.
The Globes and other honors presented in late January and February by directors, actors, writers and producers guilds will clear up the best-picture race for the Oscars.
The winners of the Oscars will be announced on February 24th, with the ceremony aired live on ABC from Hollywood's Dolby Theatre.
Family Guy creator and Ted star Seth MacFarlane is the Oscar host.
MacFarlane also announced the nominees alongside The Amazing Spider-Man star Emma Stone - the first time that an Oscar show host has joined in the preliminary announcement since 1972, when Charlton Heston participated on nominations day.
