Oscar nominations 2016: 'Revenant' leads with 12



"The Revenant" roared like a bear Thursday morning, topping all films with 12 nominations for the 88th Academy Awards.


Complete list of nominations

The film, starring Leonardo DiCaprio as a vengeful frontiersman left for dead after a bear attack, earned nominations for best picture, best director (Alejandro González Iñárritu), best actor (DiCaprio) and -- in a mild surprise -- best supporting actor (Tom Hardy).

Hardy's "Mad Max: Fury Road" also exercised some gasoline-fueled muscle. The postapocalyptic tale was second with 10 nominations, including picks for picture, director George Miller and editing.

"Spotlight," which has dominated critics' lists, received nominations for best picture, best director (Tom McCarthy), best supporting actor (Mark Ruffalo), best supporting actress (Rachel McAdams) and editing.

The Oscars may choose up to 10 films for best picture. This year, it went with eight: "The Revenant," "Mad Max," "Spotlight," "The Martian," "Brooklyn," "Room," "The Big Short" and "Bridge of Spies."The Oscars may choose up to 10 films for best picture.
