The Revenant topped Thursday's Oscar nominations with 12 nods.
Alejandro G. Inarritu's survival tale is up for Best Picture against The Big Short, Bridge of Spies, Brooklyn, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Martian, Room and Spotlight. For the second year in a row, there are eight nominees in the category.
Inarritu will try be the third person to win back-to-back directing trophies, over Spotlight's Tom McCarthy, Mad Max's George Miller, The Big Shor t's Adam McKay and Room's Lenny Abrahamson, who edged out The Martian's Ridley Scott.
The Revenant star Leonardo DiCaprio looks to be cruising to his first-ever Oscar, receiving his fifth acting nod for Best Actor. His competition includes defending champ Eddie Redmayne (The Danish Girl), Bryan Cranston (Trumbo), Matt Damon (The Martian) and Michael Fassbender (Steve Jobs).
Best Actress nominee Cate Blanchett (Carol) will aim to become the sixth person to win three Oscars. She's up against Brie Larson (Room), Jennifer Lawrence (Joy), Charlotte Rampling (45 Years) and Saoirse Ronan (Brooklyn).
Supporting Globe champs Sylvester Stallone (Creed) and Kate Winslet (Steve Jobs) also reaped nods. Stallone is the sixth person to score multiple nominations for playing the same character.
