The Academy Award nominations were announced early on Tuesday morning.
And while there were many on the list that were expected to be there - Denzel Washington for Macbeth and Nicole Kidman for Being The Ricardos come to mind - several were left off that were surprises.
Among those snubbed by the Oscars were Lady Gaga, Jared Leto and Al Pacino for House Of Gucci, Ben Affleck for his work in George Clooney's directorial effort The Tender Bar and Jennifer Hudson's role as Aretha Franklin in Respect.
