From the LA Times website:
Oscar nominations 2013: Cinematography nods honor digital over film Oscar Nominations 2013 Cinematography By Chris Lee January 10, 2013, 11:00 a.m.
Of the five men nominated for best achievement in cinematography Thursday morning, only one among them shot his movie the old fashioned way — on 35-millimeter film stock — as opposed to the new industry standard — digital film. Three-time Oscar winner Bob Richardson, the go-to cinematography ace for such directors as Martin Scorsese and Oliver Stone, was honored for his work on Quentin Tarantino’s lushly visual slavery-revenge-drama-cum-spaghetti-western “Django Unchained.” “I don’t know if another nomination will come my way for the remainder of my life that will be for work I do on film,” said Richardson, who was sound asleep in Malibu when his nomination was announced. “Quentin doesn’t want to be involved with any project that isn’t film-oriented in the feature market. His love of film is so high, to have this film in particular be recognized is a great honor.”
Richardson’s competition in the category — Seamus McGarvey for “Anna Karenina,” Claudio Miranda for “Life of Pi,” Janusz Kaminski for “Lincoln” and Roger Deakins for “Skyfall” — all relied upon digital format film for their movies. Speaking from Vancouver, Canada, on Thursday, McGarvey sounded flabbergasted to have landed an nomination at all. He had been so dismissive of his chances, he said, that he made a $100 bet with the director of the movie he’s currently working on that he’d be passed over. “I will hand over that hundred with relish and glee,” said McGarvey. He applauds “Anna Karenina” director Joe Wright’s meta-narrative choice to stage the adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s novel as a faux theater production, enabling the cinematographer to crank up the eye candy factor on the film — resulting in a windfall of Oscar nominations including best costume design and production design. “This film is very different from the films I normally work on,” McGarvey said. “It was inspired by Joe’s idea to create the film in a theatrical environment and because of that, it streamlined the visuals — from the production design to the costume design to the photography. The rarefied atmosphere of the theater allowed me to be more expressive. For me, it was really a revelation.”

Not that sites like IMDB.com are 100% accurate, but they show Lincoln and Anna Karenina both being shot on film, not "digital film" either. Hint to that writer: "digital film" is video, there's no celluloid involved.
IMDB's listed specs on Lincoln:
Camera Panavision Panaflex Millennium XL2, Panavision Primo and Super Speed Z-Series MKII Lenses Panavision Panaflex Platinum, Panavision Primo and Super Speed Z-Series MKII Lenses
Film length (metres) 4104 m (8 reels) Film negative format (mm/video inches) 35 mm (Kodak Vision3 250D 5207, Vision3 500T 5219)
Cinematographic process Digital Intermediate (4K) (master format) Super 35 (3-perf) (source format)
Printed film format 35 mm (anamorphic) (Kodak Vision 2383) D-Cinema
Aspect ratio 2.35 : 1
IMDB's specs on Anna Karenina:
Camera Panavision Panaflex Millennium XL2, Panavision E-, G-Series, ATZ and AWZ2 Lenses
Laboratory Company 3, London, UK (digital intermediate) DeLuxe, London, UK
Film length (metres) 3549 m (7 reels)
Film negative format (mm/video inches) 35 mm (Kodak Vision3 250D 5207, Vision3 500T 5219)
Cinematographic process Digital Intermediate (2K) (master format) Panavision (anamorphic) (source format)
Printed film format 35 mm (Kodak Vision 2383) D-Cinema
Aspect ratio 2.35 : 1
I also seem to remember Steven Spielberg being one of the more vocal supporters of sticking with shooting movies on film. He said he would keep shooting movies on film until that kind of equipment wasn't available to use anymore.

OK the LA Times article has now been updated (corrected) to report that only TWO films were shot on 35mm, the other one (besides Django Unchained) being Lincoln.
And the L.A. Times is STILL wrong in the case of Anna Karenina, according to this article from Collider dot com:
A lot of cinematographers are moving to digital right now. What are your feelings on digital versus film, and what did you chose for Anna Karenina? McGarvey: Well, we shot on celluloid, on film, and we shot with anamorphic lenses and that was a decision that I felt was really essential, just for the textural look of the film and the feel of the film. The way that anamorphic allows you, and particularly the aspect ratio, CinemaScope the 2:40 frame allowed us to push people to the edge and explore the space between people as well as look at groups of people, you know, you can frame two close ups in the one frame, so it’s an exciting compositional tool. But in terms of the material, I mean, it’s an ongoing debate about digital and film. The way I see it, I’ve only shot one film digitally and that was The Avengers and I had a wonderful experience on it, it was an appropriate tool for that job and it worked. But I think realistically were lucky as cinematographers in our era right now because we have the choice. I mean I love film, but I think that digital is offering many great possibilities for cinematographers. Particularly in urban cityscapes and low light photography its allowing us to render what we actually see with our eyes; which is interesting.
Well I was going to say a lot of people are using the Arri Alexa or the RED Epic, do you have a preference between the two? McGarvey: No, I take every film as it comes. And sometimes, you know, the RED EPIC – both of them are great cameras, but they’re quite different. The RED is small scale, which makes it very user friendly for 3D for instance, and sort of minimizes the kind of skips and break. I actually I love the Alexa and I think it’s a great camera; it kind of bridges kind of the feel of film. It has a texture and a feel that I recognize from film, but both are great cameras. And there are many other cameras on the market too. The Sony S55 is just an extraordinary individual camera. But every film I do I’ll look at the choices available and see what’s appropriate for the job at hand.
