The nominations for the 80th annual Academy Awards were announced this morning and two of the most critically well received films of the last year – No Country For Old Men<\/strong> and There Will Be Blood<\/strong> – lead the pack of nominees with nods in eight categories each.<\/p>\n

The two films will go head-to-head in six of those eight categories including Best Picture, Best Directing, Best Cinematography and Best Adapted Screenplay. In addition, There Will Be Blood<\/strong> nabbed a Best Actor nomination for star Daniel Day Lewis, while No Country For Old Men<\/strong>\u2019s Javier Bardem received a nomination for Best Supporting Actor.<\/p>\n

Right behind No Country<\/strong> and Bloo<\/strong>d is the George Clooney legal thriller Michael Clayton<\/strong>, which received seven total nominations including Best Picture, Best Director and Original Screenplay for Tony Gilroy, Best Actor for Clooney, Best Supporting Actor for Tom Wilkinson and Best Supporting Actress for Tilda Swinton. When released last fall, the film did steady but unremarkable business. However, Warner Brothers announced last weekend that it was going to re-release the film in approximately 1,000 theaters this Friday. These Oscar nominations should certainly help boast the film’s box-office.<\/p>\n

The World War Two drama Atonement<\/strong> also received seven nominations including nods for Best Supporting Actress for Saoirse Ronan, Cinematography, Art Direction, Costume Design, and Adapted Screenplay.<\/p>\n

Rounding out the Best Picture nominees is this year\u2019s indie hit Juno<\/strong>, which captured four nominations- the expected Best Original Screenplay nod for Diablo Cody, a Best Actress nomination for star Ellen Page and Best Director for sophomore helmer Jason Reitman.<\/p>\n

Several films managed to score three nominations including La Vie En Rose<\/strong>, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street<\/strong>, The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford<\/strong> and Transformers<\/strong>. Disney\u2019s animated\/live-action mashup Enchanted<\/strong> dominated the Best Original Song category, taking three of the five nominations.<\/p>\n
