    There Will Be Blood reigns again...but a long shot. Diving Bell beats No Country but they are both close now. No Ellen Page for actress which sucks, glad to see Casey get honoured above Javier Bardem though.

    I just saw There Will Be Blood last night, and it was mind-blowingly good. Definately has my vote for a Best Picture nomination (it won't win though, it's a bit of an aquired taste). And DDL has already won the Oscar, at least by rights, in my humble opinion.
