Daniel Day-AWESOME

[trinityvixen]

As the folks who were there all day with me yesterday know, I'm throwing my support behind There Will Be Blood for Best Picture. What made it remarkable was that it was the first movie without one really likable character I really enjoyed. If you can keep me mesmerized for two hours and forty minutes with sparse dialogue and really, really important silences, you've got my vote.

But, alas, I predict the Best Picture Oscar will go either to Juno (a.k.a. the "quirky comedy that could!" throw-away) or No Country For Old Men (a.k.a. the "lack of dramatic completion = WIN!" victory). If Daniel Day-Lewis doesn't take Best Actor, however, oooooh, am I gonna be pissed. Probably not as pissed as I would be if, say, fucking Atonement took Best Picture, but still. He was good. Yes. Can't say more, don't...want...spoil-making!

Dude, trinityvixen and I were laughing and squeeing like fiends at the end of There Will Be Blood. There were just HILARIOUS things in there.

Oh glad to know we weren't the only ones. Our audience laughed for some stuff but they seemed to be a little hesitant to find things funny. My sisters and I were pretty much rolling on the floor. We spent the entire car ride home going "I drink your milkshake!" (Strangely enough I was drinking a milkshake at the beginning of the movie.)
