The nominations for the 84th Annual Academy Awards have finally been unveiled. Many of the categories have fallen in line just as most have predicted (I fared alright with my predictions, but not great), with Hugo scoring 11 nods, followed closely by The Artist with 10. The biggest surprises are War Horse and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close getting in for Best Picture, the exclusion of The Adventures of Tintin from Best Animated Feature, and The Tree of Life nabbing Best Picture and Best Director nods (hooray!). On the snub side of things, despite landing the most precursor critics awards of any other actor in the race thus far, Albert Brooks was denied a Best Supporting Actor nod for his stellar work in Drive (boo). Additionally, Tilda Swinton was overlooked for giving the best performance of the year in We Need to Talk About Kevin, and AMPAS has no love for Michael Fassbender‘s haunting work in Shame.

There’s still plenty to be happy about, as Gary Oldman has his first ever Oscar Nomination (yes, that’s right) and Melissa McCarthy is a Best Supporting Actress nominee. Hit the jump to check out the full list of nominees. The 84th Academy Awards will be presented by Billy Crystal on February 26th.

Wild Life: A New Generation of Wild (www.generationwild.tv) teams up a trio of actors with an award-winning nature photographer to bring the experience of travel, nature and the great outdoors to a new generation. The unscripted pilot has actors James Lafferty (One Tree Hill), Stuart Lafferty (Death Sentence) and Stephen Colletti (One Tree Hill, Laguna Beach), along with acclaimed photographer/author Ian Shive (a former publicist for Sony Studios), exploring some of America’s wildest places, in such a way that is available and affordable for anyone.

During a recent exclusive interview with Collider, Ian Shive, James and Stuart Lafferty, and Stephen Colletti talked about how this project came about, putting down their cell phones and laptops and experience the nature around them, using photography to further document their adventures, and their desire to expand from the Internet and turn it into a television series. Check out what they had to say after the jump:
