The nominees for this year's Oscars were announced Tuesday morning with "The Power of the Dog" receiving 12 nominations, the most of any film this year. The contenders will now have to wait until the end of March to find out if they've won the top awards in film.

The Western set in 1920s Montana was nominated for best picture, directing (Jane Campion), best actor (Benedict Cumberbatch), best supporting actress (Kirsten Dunst) and best supporting actor (Jesse Plemons and Kodi Smit-McPhee), among other categories.
