The Oscar nominations were announced this afternoon (with a little help from Star Trek actor Chris Pine) and there are two clear frontrunners: Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s Birdman. Both films have been nominated for nine awards each, including Best Picture. 

The Imitation Game comes in a close third with eight nominations, with Richard Linklater's Boyhood and Clint Eastwood's American Sniper landing six each. 

Both Anderson, Inarritu and Linklater have been nominated for Best Director too.  

Here are the full list of Best Picture and Best Director nominees: 

BEST PICTURE
American Sniper
Birdman

BEST DIRECTOR

One of the biggest upsets of the nominations? If you're going off internet outrage alone, it's The Lego Movie getting snubbed for Best Animated Feature. (Full disclosure: The Lego Movie is number eight on our best films of the year list, so we're pretty miffed too.)

The 82nd Annual Academy Awards are scheduled to take place on February 22, with Neil Patrick Harris hosting.
