The 2012 Oscar nominations have finally been announced and while we weren't surprised to see good friends George Clooney and Brad Pitt given a nod for Best Actor, we were shocked to see Leonardo DiCaprio was snubbed!

E! News presenter and Hollywood insider Giuliana Rancic called in to Kyle & Jackie O this morning to recount Hollywood's shock at this years decisions.

Listen to the interview below.

"It's pretty crazy" she says, "in the best actor category Gary Oldman got nominated for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, his first Oscar nomination ever.

"But what was more shocking than him getting nominated was that it then bumped out people like Leonardo DiCaprio for [his movie] J. Edgar… and also Ryan Gosling. That was pretty shocking, we didn't see that one coming."

Giuliana was also amazed to see Melissa McCarthy nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting role for her part in hilarious comedy, Bridesmaids.

"It was like 'whaaaat?' You know for 'Bridesmaids' to even be in the same sentence as 'Oscar' is shocking!"
