American Hustle and Gravity swept the board at this year's 2014 Oscar nominations, with 10 nods apiece.
The David O. Russell drama and Alfonso Cuarón space epic both received nominations in the Best Picture category, as well as nods for their leading men and women.
12 Years A Slave followed closely behind with nine nominations, including one for Best Picture - setting up an apparent three-horse race between three very different films.
Gravity star Sandra Bullock was named in the Best Actress category but will have strong competition from American Hustle's Amy Adams, while Christian Bale also got a Best Actor nod for his role in the film.

However, Jennifer - last year's Best Actress winner - will have a tough time winning for a second year running as the other nominees in her category are Sally Hawkins for Blue Jasmine, Julia Roberts for August: Osage County, June Squibb for Nebraska and Lupita Nyong'o for 12 Years A Slave.
In the Supporting Actor category, Bradley will have to face off against Michael Fassbender for 12 Years A Slave, Jonah Hill for The Wolf Of Wall Street, Jared Leto for Dallas Buyers Club and Barkhad Abdi for Captain Phillips.
Both American Hustle and Gravity are up against Captain Phillips, Dallas Buyers Club, Her, Nebraska, Philomena, 12 Years A Slave and The Wolf Of Wall Street in the Best Picture category.
Standout performers: Amy Adams and Christian Bale earned acting nominations for their roles as Irving Rosenfeld and Sydney Prosser in American Hustle
In addition, American Hustle director O. Russell was nominated in the Best Director category alongside Cuarón, while Martin Scorsese received a nod for The Wolf Of Wall Street.
Nebraska director Alexander Payne and 12 Years A Slave's Steve McQueen round out the Best Director category.
The most notable omission by the academy was Tom Hanks, whose lead performance in Captain Phillips was widely considered a shoo-in.
Will he manage it? Leonardo DiCaprio earned a nomination for The Wolf Of Wall Street - will this be his year?
Acting greats: Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts were both nominated for August: Osage County
Robert Redford, expected by many to be nominated for the shipwreck drama All Is Lost, also missed out on a best actor nod. Redford has never won an acting Oscar.
Disney's making-of Mary Poppins tale Saving Mr. Banks also failed to land either a best picture nomination or a best actress nod for Emma Thompson as had been anticipated.
The nominations were announced from Beverly Hills, California by Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs and Thor actor Chris Hemsworth.
The Oscars will take place in Los Angeles on Sunday March 2nd.
Cool rider: Matthew McConaughey was given a Best Actor nod for Dallas Buyers Club
Can she do it again? One-time Oscar nominee Judi Dench is up for her role in Philomena
