American Hustle and Gravity lead this year's Academy Award nominations, announced Thursday in Beverly Hills, and we've got all the details for you right here on RadarOnline.com.

David O. Russell's crime caper starring Christian Bale and Jennifer Lawrence, and Alfonso Cuaron's breathtaking space thriller both have 10 nominations at the 86th annual film awards, while 12 Years a Slave  follows closely behind with nine nods.

American Hustle is up for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay, as well as acting nominations for all four main cast members including Bale, Lawrence, Amy Adams and Bradley Cooper.

12 Years a Slave has yielded a Best Actor nomination for leading man Chiwetel Ejiofor, Best Supporting Actor for Michael Fassbender and Best Supporting Actress for newcomer Lupita Nyongo. Sandra Bullock has earned an Oscar nod for Gravity, as has the film's visionary director Alfonso Cuaron.

Superstars Oprah Winfrey (The Butler) and Tom Hanks (Captain Phillips) were the morning's most notable snubs, as many outlets and social media users expressed shock and outrage over their respective exclusions. Others who were left out, to a puzzled response from the public, include Scarlett Johansson (Her), Robert Redford (All Is Lost), Emma Thompson (Saving Mr. Banks) and the late James Gandolfini (Enough Said).

Elsewhere, Golden Globe Award winners Matthew McConaughey and Cate Blanchett continue to rack up award nominations as they are up for Best Actor and Best Actress for Dallas Buyers Club and Blue Jasmine, respectively.

Three-time Oscar winner Meryl Streep earns a record 18th Oscar nomination for August: Osage County and her co-star Julia Roberts, who is also a past Best Actress winner, is up for Best Supporting Actress.

The nominations were announced by Chris Hemsworth and Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences president Cheryl Boone Isaacs.
