This Oscar season, Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood has struck gold (and oil) with critics -- Entertainment Weekly called the film a "new American epic and instant modern classic." Variety and the New York Times have named it a must-see for 2008.

Daniel Day-Lewis portrays Daniel Plainview, the scruffy California silver-searcher-turned-oil-man, and has already been awarded the Critic's Choice Award and Golden Globe for best actor. But the applause doesn't stop there. The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) just announced today that Day-Lewis is in the running for its Best Actor award. And he's expected to earn yet another accolade when Oscar nominations are announced on Jan. 22. (He previously won in 1990 for My Left Foot). But Day-Lewis isn't into the awards or Hollywood scene, as he tells Sophie Dahl in February's issue of Men's Vogue.  He's a man that plays by his own rules. -- EMILY TAN
