Martin Scorsese's lavish 3D adventure Hugo' has won 11 Oscar nominations, just ahead of hotly-tipped silent movie The Artist with 10 nods for Hollywood's top awards.

Tied for third were baseball movie Moneyball starring Brad Pitt and veteran director Steven Spielberg's equine epic War Horse, which each got six nods for the Academy Awards, to be presented next month.

Meryl Streep, as expected, received her 17th Oscar nomination for a gripping performance as former British premier Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady, while those shortlisted for best actor included Pitt and George Clooney.
