The 80th annual Academy Awards nominations were announced Tuesday morning and the list includes Hollywood favorites like Johnny Depp, Cate Blanchett and George Clooney.
Meanwhile, No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood led the pack with eight nominations each, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay.
Clooney’s film Michael Clayton was also nominated for Best Picture, as was Juno and Atonement.
The Oscars will be presented on Feb. 24, however, the writers strike could impact the number of guests who turn up. "We’re dealing with contingencies but we’re thrusting ahead. The point is, we’re going to have a show, and we’re going to give these incredible artists what they’re due," said Sid Ganis, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
