That is awesome! Wonder what the record is for most Oscars for a movie. Seems to me that at one time it was Ben Hur?

Fantastic - although I don't see Set Design! That was phenomenal as well!

That's great news, and it might lead me to actually watch an awards show for the first time in about 25 years.

I think "Lincoln" did get a nomination for Set Design only they call it Production Design and Set Decoration.
No Makeup and Hairstyling nomination though.

Bill,
Three films each won 11 awards. They were Ben Hur, Titanic and The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. Two films each received 14 nominations. They were All About Eve and Titanic. The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King won in every category it was nominated.
Best
Rob

The Carpetbagger, the "Awards Season Blog from the New York Times," says "the films to watch in the biggest race [Best Picture] are “Lincoln,” “Silver Linings” and “Life of Pi.”
http://carpetbagger.blogs.nytimes.com/
"The leader in the field, of course, is Steven Spielberg’s “Lincoln,” which earned 12 nominations and seems to be a heavy frontrunner. But prognosticators are already mulling over the possibility that this year could be a rematch of 1999, when Mr. Spielberg’s “Saving Private Ryan” seemed to have all the right momentum, only to be beat by “Shakespeare in Love,” with an Oscar campaign led by Harvey Weinstein. The Weinstein Company is behind “Silver Linings Playbook,” another feel-good favorite. Historical epic vs. heartwarming romance, take two?
Astute Oscar-watchers also know that besides director, another category often foretells a best picture winner: editing. Without a nomination in that category, the top prize is hard to get. The nominees this year are the editors for “Argo,” “Silver Linings Playbook,” “Zero Dark Thirty,” “Lincoln” and “Life of Pi.” Triangulating between that and the director category means that the films to watch in the biggest race are “Lincoln,” “Silver Linings” and “Life of Pi.”

I am not a "Lord of the Rings" fan-never saw the movie-but it must have been good to win so many Oscars.

Critics Choice Awards winners for "Lincoln" are Daniel Day-Lewis for Best Actor, Tony Kushner for Best Adapted Screenplay and John Williams for Best Score.

Forum member Sebastiao Albano, who lives in Brazil, has informed us that Lincoln is in the Brazilian newspapers. He sent this image. Thank you, Sebastiao!

From the article, "Lincoln Leads in the Battle For Oscars," in Friday's New York Times:
"You never ever know how these things are going to go, so it's really gratifying," said Kathleen Kennedy, a producer of "Lincoln," who spoke by telephone on Thursday morning. She noted, however, that it was not a perfect day for the "Lincoln" team. "I was very disappointed that our makeup and hair people weren't recognized," she said.

I'm eager now to hear the score for Lincoln. My son-in-law is taking me to see it on the 20th, and I will put new batteries in the hearing aids.
