ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) STORY: Hollywood veterans Alan Arkin, Tommy Lee Jones and Robert De Niro were all named in the supporting actor category during the Oscar nomination announcements on Thursday (January 10), with Philip Seymour Hoffman and Christoph Waltz joining them in the same category. Anne Hathaway's performance in Les Miserables saw her nominated for supporting actress along with Amy Adams, Lincoln star Sally Field, Helen Hunt and Jacki Weaver. Thursday's announcement, by MacFarlane and Spiderman star Emma Stone, means disappointment for Dame Judi Dench and Dame Helen Mirren, who missed out despite being tipped for possible nominations for their respective performances in Skyfall and Hitchcock. This year's ceremony will be held in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 24.
