A nice old man and Jennifer Lawrence have just announced the nominations for this year’s Oscars 2012.
Meryl Streep has landed a nomination for Best Actress for her performance as Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady and is up against Michelle Williams for her role in My Week With Marilyn.
Williams has been nominated for a second year in a row – her performance in Blue Valentine lost out to Natalie Portman’s in Black Swan last year – and it’s thought she could have more luck this year. Saying that, Streep has been up a record 16 times and the critics (i.e. people who go to the cinema and, like, really enjoy it) reckon she will take it.

Britons Gary Oldman, Kenneth Branagh and Janet McTeer are also in the running for Academy Awards. Oldman is up for Best Actor for his role as George Smiley in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and it is his first Oscar nomination (high five for him).
Branagh, 51, is in the running for best supporting actor for his performance as Sir Laurence Olivier in Marilyn Monroe biopic My Week With Marilyn. He said today: "It was a rare honour to play Sir Laurence Olivier. To be recognised by the Academy for doing so is overwhelming. I'm absolutely thrilled."
Black and white silent film The Artist has 10 nominations, including best film, best actor for French star Jean Dujardin and supporting actress for Berenice Bejo.

But Martin Scorsese's family film Hugo leads with 11 nominations.
War Horse, based on the National Theatre play inspired by Michael Morpurgo's novel, is up for six gongs, and is also among the movies vying for best film.

As well as The Artist, Steven Spielberg's War Horse is up against The Descendants, Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close, The Help, Hugo, Midnight In Paris, Moneyball, and The Tree Of Life.
Now, we could go through the list of the nominations for the 84th Academy Awards and tell you who we think will win, but those nifty bookie types at William Hill have got more of an idea than we do. See below for all of the Oscar nominations - in the order of who is already tipped to win.
