This is huge for the Michael Keaton, Emma Stone and Ed Norton starring flick as awards favourites begin to garner some momentum moving towards the big one - The Oscars. 

No Best Actor nomination for Steve Carrell is a surprise, but the net is cast far and wide with these gongs, as Comedy and Action films are given their own categories.
