This year's Oscar nominations have been announced in Los Angeles, and unlike recent years, several crowd-pleasing blockbusters are among the top contenders.
The televised announcement has also made history with Michelle Yeoh, who becomes just the second Asian woman to get a best actress nomination, and Naatu Naatu, the first Indian film song to be nominated.
