Actresses scoring nominees for supporting roles were first- timers Patricia Arquette for "Boyhood" and Emma Stone for "Birdman, " along with Laura Dern for "Wild," Keira Knightley for "The Imitation Game," and Meryl Streep for "Into the Woods." This is Streep's 19th nomination and she has already won three Oscars.

Best foreign language films nominated were "Ida" (Poland), " Leviathan" (Russia), "Tangerines" (Estonia), "Timbuktu" ( Mauritania) and "Wild Tales" (Argentina). The Oscar nominees for best animated feature film are "Big Hero 6," "The Boxtrolls," "How to Train Your Dragon 2," "Song of the Sea" and "The Tale of Princess Kaguya."
The Academy reformed its process for announcing the nominations this year. Traditionally, the early morning live-televised announcement at the Samuel Goldwyn Theatre only featured some of the top categories. On Thursday, the Oscar nominations were announced in all 24 categories at the early morning event.
The Oscars will be presented Feb. 22 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, with Neil Patrick Harris hosting.
