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!

If not for the ending, I might not have minded. They could have tacked on with a hard splice the ending from There Will Be Blood and I'd've just as soon accepted that as the ending they gave.
