Critics Choice Awards: ‘Lincoln’ Gets Record 13 Nominations

Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" landed a record-breaking 13 nominations for the Critics Choice Movie Awards on Dec. 11, ahead of musical "Les Miserables" (11 nominations) and indie comedy "Silver Linings Playbook" (10 nominations).

"Lincoln," starring Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln and Sally Field as Mary Todd Lincoln, was nominated for best picture and best director, while actors Day-Lewis, Tommy Lee Jones and Sally Field got individual nods as well as one for best acting ensemble.
