Oscar nominations shake up race with Bigelow snub
The Oscar field surprised as Kathryn Bigelow missed a directing nod for Zero Dark Thirty while Steven Spielberg and Ang Lee led with Lincoln and Life of Pi. Beasts of the Southern Wild and Silver Linings Playbook scored top nominations, with Amour marking a rare foreign language best picture nod and Beasts earning a directing nod for Ben Zeitlin and a young star, Quvenzhane Wallis. Skyfall also earned several technical nominations but missed above the line categories.
