He did it Adrian! Sylvester Stallone is an Academy Award nominee once more!

The nominations for the 88th annual Academy Awards have been announced, and The Revenant is leading the way with twelve nods, whilst Mad Max: Fury Road has picked up a nice round ten nominations, including the Best Picture category.

Meanwhile Ridley Scott (The Martian) and Quentin Tarantino (The Hateful Eight) miss out on Best Director nods, and Carol, which had been believed to be a frontrunner for Best Picture misses out on the category all together. Guillermo del Toro also had the misfortune of announcing the nominees for Best Costume Design, a category in which his latest film Crimson Peak was overlooked.

Elsewhere, Leonardo DiCaprio is on route to finally bag himself a Best Actor statuette, and his The Revenant co-star Tom Hardy is also a surprise contender for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, joining Stallone in that particular race.
