(CNN) — The nominations for the 86th Academy Awards were announced Thursday morning (Jan. 16), and the snubs were as notable as the honors.

“Hustle” was nominated in several major categories, including picture, director (David O. Russell), actor (Christian Bale), actress (Amy Adams), supporting actor (Bradley Cooper), supporting actress (Jennifer Lawrence) and adapted screenplay.
And “12 Years a Slave” earned nine nods, including picks for best picture, best director (Steve McQueen), best actor (Chiwetel Ejiofor), best supporting actor (Michael Fassbender) and best supporting actress (Lupita Nyong’o).
