Academy Award 2013 host Seth MacFarlane announced the Oscar nominees this morning, with Emma Stone. The 2013 Academy Awards will air February 24, 2013.
For all the time he had to prepare, the most hilarious introduction MacFarlane could come up with was that the announcement should be moved to Noon, since “the only people who are up right now are flying or in surgery.”
The nominees are…
