The 2013 Academy Award nominations have been being announced in Hollywood by actors Seth MacFarlane and Emma Stone.

Historical drama Lincoln dominated the shortlist with 12 nominations, but there was a strong showing for Life Of Pi and Silver Linings Playbook.

Bond film Skyfall had been hotly tipped for success, but failed to secure any major nominations. However, Adele's theme tune was listed for best song.

The ceremony will take place at the Dolby Theatre on 24 February.

Bond tribute

The Oscars ceremony will also be hosted by MacFarlane, who created the animated series Family Guy.

It has already been announced that the star-studded event will feature a tribute to 50 years of the James Bond movie franchise.

"We are very happy to include a special sequence on our show saluting the Bond films on their 50th birthday," said the producers of the Oscars show, Craig Zadan and Neil Meron.

The nominations are selected by a ballot of 6,000 members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

A total of 24 categories will be announced, including the best acting performances of the year and technical awards in areas such as editing, design and music.

Nominations for this year's awards are being announced two weeks earlier than usual.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said the move would "provide members and the public a longer period of time to see the nominated films".

The Bafta nominations were announced on Wednesday with Lincoln leading the way in 10 categories.
