The nominees for the 85th Academy Awards were announced on January 10, 2013, at 5:38 a.m. PST (13:38
UTC) at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, California, by Seth MacFarlane, host of the
ceremony, and actress Emma Stone.[13] Lincoln received the most nominations with twelve total, and Life of
Pi came in second with eleven.[14]
The winners were announced during the awards ceremony on February 24, 2013.[15] Argo was the fourth
film to win Best Picture without a directing nomination. 1927's Wings, 1932's Grand Hotel, and 1989's
Driving Miss Daisy previously achieved this feat.[16] As co-producer of Argo, George Clooney became the
third individual to win Oscars for both acting and producing.[17] Best Director winner Ang Lee was the
second person to win that category twice for helming non-Best Picture winning films.[18] Silver Linings
Playbook was the fourteenth film to earn nominations in all four acting categories.[19] At age 22, Best
Actress winner Jennifer Lawrence became the second-youngest winner in that category.[20] With his third
win for Best Lead Actor, Daniel Day-Lewis became the first three-time winner in that aforementioned
category.[21] He also was the sixth performer to win at least three acting Oscars.[22] Amour was the fourth
film nominated simultaneously for Best Picture and Best Foreign Language Film in the same year.[23] At
age nine, Quvenzhan Wallis became the youngest nominee for Best Actress and the youngest female acting
nominee overall.[24] Meanwhile, Emmanuelle Riva (aged 85) was the oldest nominee for Best Actress.[25]
Skyfall and Zero Dark Thirty's joint win in the Best Sound Editing category marked the sixth occurrence of a
tie in Oscar history.[26]

Due to declining interest and viewership in recent ceremonies, the Academy hired a new production team in
an attempt to improve ratings and revive interest in the ceremony. Reports surfaced that Academy
then-president Tom Sherak approached television producer Lorne Michaels for producing duties with actor
and comedian Jimmy Fallon as host.[32] However, the telecast's broadcaster ABC objected to these
selections, and both men declined afterward.[33] With newly elected Academy president Hawk Koch

Several other people were involved with the telecast and its promotion. Tony Award-winning art director
Derek McLane designed a new set and stage design for the ceremony.[39] Rob Ashford served as
choreographer for several musical numbers during the event.[40] Comedians Ben Gleib and Annie Greenup
served as correspondents and hosts of "Oscar Road Trip", a nationwide bus tour promoting the ceremony in
eleven major cities across the United States.[41] Six young film students from colleges across the country,
who were selected from a contest conducted by AMPAS and MtvU, were recruited to appear onstage to
deliver Oscar statuettes to the presenters during the gala.[42]

was $620 million with an average gross of $68.9 million per film.[47]
Of the top 50 grossing movies of the year, 61 nominations went to 15 films on the list. Only Brave (8th),
Wreck-It Ralph (13th), Lincoln (17th), Django Unchained (23rd), Argo (26th), Les Misrables (27th), Flight
(30th), and Life of Pi (31st) were nominated for Best Picture, Best Animated Feature, or any of the directing,
acting, or screenwriting awards.[48] The other top 50 box office hits that earned nominations were Marvel's
The Avengers (1st), Skyfall (4th), The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (6th), Ted (13th), Snow White and the
Huntsman (15th), Prometheus (20th), and Mirror Mirror (44th).[48]
Critical reviews
The show received a mixed reception from media publications. Some media outlets were more critical of the
show. Columnist Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly commented "By calling constant attention to
the naughty factor," MacFarlane created "an echo chamber of outrage, working a little too hard to top
himself with faux-scandalous gags about race, Jews in Hollywood, and the killing of Abraham Lincoln."[51]
The Washington Post television critic Hank Stuever bemoaned, "There was nothing notably terrible about
the show, and nothing particularly enthralling." Regarding MacFarlane's performance as host, Stuever noted,
"What you got was a combination of sicko and retro, an Oscar show hosted by someone who waited until
Oscar night to discover that he's only so-so at stand-up comedy."[52] Television editor Alan Sepinwall of
HitFix lamented that the ceremony made for a "frequently messy, but occasionally surprising and/or
entertaining evening." He added that MacFarlane "had some funny moments here and there, but he missed
way more than he hit, and Frat Boy Seth quickly assumed dominance as the evening went along."[53]
Other media outlets received the broadcast and more positively. Tim Goodman of The Hollywood Reporter
praised MacFarlane's performance saying that he did "impressively better than one would have wagered."
He also noted that he added "plenty of niceties with a little bit of the Ricky Gervais bite-the-hand-thatfeeds-you thing and worked the juxtaposition rather nicely.[54] Chicago Tribune television critic Nina Metz
lauded MacFarlane for keeping "a solid handle on the proceedings." She also remarked that the host "opened
with a series of jokes that were bona fide winners, landing on just the right tone: confident but not
cocksure".[55] Associated Press critic Frazier Moore extolled MacFarlane observing that he "seized the
camera Sunday as host of ABC's Oscarcast and proved to its vast audience that he's a ridiculously versatile
entertainer, a guy who can be as charming as he is famously irreverent, even polarizing."[56]

ratings in six years with a 13.71 rating over a 33.45 share among viewers in the 1849 demographic.[60]
The annual In Memoriam segment was presented by actor George Clooney.[61] The montage featured an
excerpt of the main title from Out of Africa by composer John Barry.[62] At the end of the tribute, singer
Barbra Streisand sang "The Way We Were" from the film of the same name in tribute to composer Marvin
Hamlisch.[63]
