An adaptation of the Upton Sinclair novel, Oil!, was just selected Best Picture of the Year by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. There Will Be Blood, which opens in theaters December 26, stars Daniel Day-Lewis (Gangs of New York) as an oil tycoon in the early 1900’s. Blood won four honors overall including Best Director (Paul Thomas Anderson), Best Actor (Lewis) and Best Production Design. Just earlier this week, the National Board of Review gave its top prize to No Country for Old Men.
The New York Film Critics Circle is expected to announce its picks later today while the Golden Globe nominations come out this Thursday.
