LOS ANGELES — The 85th Academy Award nominations yields some fun trivia.
For instance:
• There are four first-time nominees in the lead acting categories: Bradley Cooper (“Silver Linings Playbook"), Hugh Jackman (“Les Misérables"), Emmanuelle Riva (“Amour") and Quvenzhané Wallis (“Beasts of the Southern Wild").
• France’s Riva, 85, is the oldest lead actress nominee in Academy Awards history; Wallis, 9, is the youngest. Gloria Stuart, who was 87 when she was nominated for her supporting performance in “Titanic," stands as the oldest nominee. The youngest actor to ever be nominated was 8-year-old Justin Henry for “Kramer Vs. Kramer."
• Nine of the 20 acting nominees — Daniel Day-Lewis, Denzel Washington, Alan Arkin, Robert De Niro, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Tommy Lee Jones, Christoph Waltz, Sally Field and Helen Hunt — are previous Oscar winners in the acting races.
• “Lincoln’s" Kathleen Kennedy and Steven Spielberg share the record for the most best picture nominations with eight each.
• “Amour" is the fifth film to be nominated for both Best Picture and Best Foreign Film. It joins the ranks of “Z," “The Emigrants," “Life Is Beautiful" and “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
• “Silver Linings Playbook" is the first film with nominations for Best Picture, director, screenplay and all four acting categories since Warren Beatty’s 1981 epic “Reds."
• John Williams has more nominations than any other living person, with 48. The only person with more is Walt Disney. He had 59. Woody Allen is the runner-up with 23.
• Michael Kahn is the most nominated film editor; he receives his eighth nomination this year for “Lincoln."
• Thomas Newman earns his 11th nomination with his score for the James Bond film “Skyfall." The Newman family — Alfred, Lionel, Emil, Thomas, David and Randy — now have 87 nominations altogether.
• Similarly, Roman Coppola, who was nominated with Wes Anderson for their original screenplay for “Moonrise Kingdom," is the sixth member of the Coppola clan to receive a nomination — he joins Carmine Coppola, Francis Ford Coppola, Talia Shire, Nicolas Cage and Sofia Coppola — bringing the family total to 24 nominations.
