Oscar nominations 2012

So they're finally here - the Academy Award 2012 nominations.

And what a list - a nod for NZ's Bret McKenzie, a 17th nomination for Meryl Streep, a first for Gary Oldman, Hugo leads the pack (but not for acting) and an overlooked Tintin misses out on an animated nod despite Golden Globe glory. But WETA scores for its awesome work in Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

The show's on next month with Billy Crystal hosting - but for now here's the full list of the 2012 Oscar Academy Award nominations...
