Goddamn!! Last year I was all for No Country winning Best picture, but the more I reflect and look back and rewatch these two films I realize that There Will Be Blood is far and above the superior motion picture...

[aminosc]

He makes America proud.

[starcraft108]

...it would definately have won (oops)

[starcraft108]

PTA is very unlucky, if There Will Be Blood had been released any other year, the year after for example (Its better than Slumdog Millionaire)

[TheGreenpeperoni]

this is my favorite movie of the decade

@aminosc

I'm glad, this New Zealander loves his American heroes, all those filmmakers that make me wanna go to America and tell stories there. I want to make my first movie here with American accents.....may fav :)

I see PTA's career forming much the same way as Kubrick's did, in respect to Oscar achievement. Instead of garnering a ton of Oscars, Kubrick always just worked on his own, producing masterpiece after masterpiece and redefining cinema as we know it. PTA is capable of the same.

PTA and Wes Anderson are the two most entertaining and talented American directors making films today and  by a large margin aswell

there will be blood would have won- for 1 year 2007 the academy decided to actually award great artistic films hence no country was allowed to win, no country was similarily uncomercial and beyond most audiences appreciation. unfortuantly that meant the lowest viewing figures ever so last year they gave a very average/sell out/comercial film the top honours- slumdog. now to cover both bases they have made it 10 nominations for best film.

@iveywebb44 nah. i think There Will Be Blood, which is a film that i loved anmd considers the best film of the decade, woudn't win even if it was released in another year. it works like 2001, a film ahead of its time. if they could have an award after ten years, then There Will Be Blood will win it.

crash sucked dick but the departed was ok

[iveywebb44]

so true, there will be blood was just unlucky to come out the same year as another masterpiece, any other year it would have won best film.
