The category often favors frenetic, action-driven films ("The Bourne Ultimatum," "Black Hawk Down," "The Matrix,"), large-scale epics ("The Aviator," "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King," "Titanic"), and films with multiple storylines ("Crash," "Traffic").

Among this year's contenders is "Zero Dark Thirty" (Oscar nominees William Goldenberg and Dylan Tichenor), from director Kathryn Bigelow, whose previous film ("The Hurt Locker") won this award in 2009.

Also in contention are the musical "Les Miserables" (Oscar-winner Chris Dickens), fantasy films "Life of Pi" (nominee Tim Squyres) and "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" (Jabez Olssen), "Argo" (also William Goldenberg), "The Master" (Peter McNulty), the disaster drama "The Impossible" (Elena Ruiz and Bernat Vilaplana), and the epic biopic "Lincoln" (three-time Oscar winner Michael Kahn).

Crockett Doob and Alfonso Goncalves could earn their first nominations for "Beasts of the Southern Wild," and Lee Smith could earn his third bid for "The Dark Knight Rises."
