And the moment we, avid movie buffs, have been waiting for -- the 85th Annual Academy Awards nominations! Two things stuck in my mind as Seth MacFarlane and Emma Stone were reading the nominees this morning; First, I was very happy that Michael Haneke's "Amour" received love from the Academy including Best Picture, Original Screenplay, Actress (Emmanuelle Riva), and Director. Second, hurray for Quvenzhané Wallis, the memorable child actress from "Beasts of the Southern Wild" received her first Best Actress Oscar nomination. She was considered a non-professional actor and was snubbed by the Screen Actors Guild, so yay for the Academy.

Speaking of "Beasts of the Southern Wild," the film received kudos for Best Picture, Adapted Screenplay (Lucy Alibar, Benh Zeitlin), and Director for Zeitlin.

What I'm bummed about? Ben Affleck was ignored! His fantastic film, "Argo," received kudos for Best Picture and Adapted Screenplay for Chris Terrio, yet, Affleck, nominated for a Directors Guild of America Award, was snubbed! Also missing was Oscar-winner Kathryn Bigelow of "Zero Dark Thirty," which was nominated for Best Picture. And Tom Hooper of "Les Miserables," also nominated for the DGA award was snubbed, and gasp, Quentin Tarantino as well! 

Here's the complete list of nominees of the 85th Annual Academy Awards! Winners will be announced live on the Oscar telecast, hosted by MacFarlane, on Feb. 24 on ABC at 8:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. PT.
