The Other nominations in my opinion are more technical and since i haven't seen all the movies i would rather not comment. In case you are wondering how i made a pick among these, I watched trailers and whatever footage i could while the other's i have seen.
One movie that i can't wait to watch is Paul Thomas Anderson's "There will be Blood".
Daniel Day Lewis is an awesome awesome actor. All his movies are so so awesome, Like Aamir Khan he too is a perfectionist and does movies only once in a while. Must watch movies of his
"My Left Foot", "Gangs of New York", "Last of the Mohicans", "In the Name of the Father" to name a few.... He won his last oscar for "My Left Foot". Am rooting for him and my other favorite JD (Johhnny Depp)
