Achievements
The 85th Academy Awards are notable for several rare and first-time feats. Amour (French) became the first film in twelve years to be nominated for both Best Picture and Best Foreign Language Film; the last film to do so was Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Mandarin) in 2000. Amour also became the first foreign-language film in six years to earn a Best Picture nomination; the last film to do so was Letters from Iwo Jima (Japanese) in 2006.
Several age-related records were set: Emmanuelle Riva, at 85, became the oldest nominee in the Best Actress category.[11][12] This record was previously held by Jessica Tandy, age 80, who was nominated (and won) for Driving Miss Daisy in 1989. Quvenzhané Wallis, at age 9, became the youngest nominated actress in the Best Actress category.[12][13] This record was previously held by Keisha Castle-Hughes who was nominated at the age of 13 for Whale Rider in 2003. Jennifer Lawrence, at 22, became the youngest Best Actress two-time nominee, having previously been nominated in 2010 for Winter's Bone.
Silver Linings Playbook became the first film in 31 years to receive nominations in all four acting categories; the last film to do so was Reds in 1981.[14][15] Silver Linings Playbook also became the first film in eight years to be nominated in the "Big Five" categories; the last film to do so was Million Dollar Baby in 2004.
In regard to acting merits, for the first time in the history of the awards, an acting category consists of only previous winners, in this case Best Supporting Actor. Alan Arkin, Tommy Lee Jones, and Christoph Waltz have each won Best Supporting Actor; Phillip Seymour Hoffman has won Best Actor; and Robert De Niro has won in both award categories. Also, out of the 20 total acting nominations, only 4 of them (Bradley Cooper, Hugh Jackman, Emmanuelle Riva, and Quvenzhané Wallis) are first time nominees.
Les Misérables became the first movie musical to be not only nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role (Hugh Jackman) since Johnny Depp for Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street in 2008, but also for Best Picture since Chicago in 2003.
The Walt Disney Studios has not had this much success at the Academy Awards since when Mary Poppins earned 13 Oscar nominations at the 37th Academy Awards in 1965; Disney earned a record-breaking 17 Oscar nominations in the studio's history in a single year: 12 for Lincoln and one apiece for The Avengers, Brave, Frankenweenie, Paperman, and Wreck-It Ralph.[16]
Changes to award categories
Beginning with the 85th Academy Awards, the following changes to award categories took place:
- The Academy Award for Best Art Direction has been renamed the Academy Award for Best Production Design, coinciding with the Art Directors Branch of AMPAS being renamed the Designers Branch.[17]
- The Academy Award for Best Makeup has been renamed the Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling.[18][19]
- The Academy Awards for Best Documentary Feature, Best Animated Short Film and Best Live Action Short Film have now been opened up for all members to vote for instead of needing to attend a screening to be eligible. Best Documentary Short and Best Foreign Language Film remain the only categories that require attendance at a screening to be able to vote for.[20]
