Hong Kong Director Wong Kar-wai.
Crime caper American Hustle and 3-D space spectacular Gravity topped the Oscars nominations yesterday with 10 each, leading a crowded field of contenders for Hollywood's most coveted honours.
Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai's The Grand Master failed to secure nomination for best foreign-language film, but is in the reckoning for two Oscars - William Chang Suk-ping was nominated for costume design and Philippe Le Sourd for cinematography.
Historical drama 12 Years a Slave came close behind the top two, with nine nominations in a year full of critically acclaimed movies, leaving no clear front runners ahead of the Academy Awards on March 2.
Somali pirate drama Captain Phillips, Aids activist film Dallas Buyers Club and black and white road movie Nebraska were next with six Oscar nods each.
Martin Scorsese's epic about financial greed The Wolf of Wall Street and futuristic love story Her each got five nominations.
Those eight films, plus Philomena, are up for best picture.
Under recently changed rules, that category can include between five and 10 films.
American Hustle already has momentum after winning three major prizes at last weekend's Golden Globes, Tinseltown's second most high-profile awards show, while the harrowing 12 Years a Slave took best drama.
For best actor, the nominees were Christian Bale for American Hustle, Bruce Dern for Nebraska, Leonardo DiCaprio for The Wolf of Wall Street, Chiwetel Ejiofor for 12 Years a Slave and Matthew McConaughey for Dallas Buyers Club.
Up for the best actress Oscar are Amy Adams for American Hustle, Cate Blanchett for Blue Jasmine, Sandra Bullock for Gravity, Judi Dench for Philomena and Meryl Streep for August: Osage County.
