"hugo," graham king and martin scorcese, producers. scott rudin, producer. >> please join us february 26th when we celebrate the magic of the movies. thank you. thank you, jennifer. >> thank you. >> there you have it. starting off with best picture there were nine nominations. we said five to textbon. i counted nine. >> i believe i got nine as well. >> any surprises there? >> i think a e pleasant surprise for steven spielberg whose "war horse" hasn't had as much awards action as he would have liked. "the tree of life" which is a small independent movie that did well, but a lot of people thought it was confusing, bizarre. the academy loved it. terrence malick did well. brad pitt is the big winner. he produced "the tree of life" and "moneyball." that's a testament to his power as an actor and producer. i think one of the big surprises in this is melissa mccarthy in "bridesmaids" for best supporting actress. i think we saw at the golden globes rick jy server vase said her character had diarrhea in a sink. it's not an academy film movie. >
