The award season is upon us and pretty soon we’re going to see Hollywood’s finest gather to celebrate one of the most prestigious film award in the world: The 85th Annual Academy Awards 2013. Actress Emma Stone and Oscars host, Seth MacFarlane revealed the nominees of the 2013 Oscars at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, CA. While it’s unusual for the Oscars host to announce the nominees like MacFarlande did, he’s actually not the first to do so. Back in 1972, Charlton Heston also announced the nominees prior to the Awards night.
