This morning in Los Angeles, Seth MacFarlane and Emma Stone announced the nominees of the 85th Academy Awards. The ceremony will take place on Feb. 24 and will be broadcast live on ABC beginning at 8 p.m. EST.
MacFarlane started off with a joke: "If you don't know who I am just pretend I'm Donny Osmond." He also bantered with Stone, the star of "Gangster Squad," calling her the Meryl Streep of her generation.
MacFarlane, the "Family Guy" mastermind who wrote and directed the hit "Ted," will host the Oscars, which are scheduled for February 24 on ABC.
The show will air from the Dolby Theatre -- formerly known as the Kodak Theatre -- in Los Angeles.
The Civil War saga "Lincoln" leads the Academy Awards with 12 nominations, including best picture, director for Steven Spielberg and acting honors for Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field and Tommy Lee Jones.
Chronicling Abraham Lincoln’s final months as he engineers passage of the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery, Lincoln stars best-actor contender Day-Lewis in a monumental performance as the 16th president, supporting-actress nominee Field as the notoriously headstrong Mary Todd Lincoln and supporting-actor prospect Jones as abolitionist firebrand Thaddeus Stevens.
