PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON - MORE CRITICS GROUPS WEIGH IN

MORE CRITICS GROUPS WEIGH IN

Appearing to set up a wide-open race for the Oscars, several film-critics groups have split over which is the best film of 2007. In a surprise decision, the Los Angeles Film Critics named the thus-far-unreleased There Will Be Blood the top film. It named its director, Paul Thomas Anderson, best director and its star, Daniel Day Lewis best actor. The Washington DC and Boston film critics each named the Coen Brothers' No Country for Old Men best film of the year.
