Paul Thomas Anderson. You have created a masterpiece with There Will Be Blood, and the Academy, as they are so inclined to do, has totally dissed you. I love the Coen Bros with all my heart, I want oscars for them, millions of oscars in every category for them, but I've watched your movie twice and their movie twice and, this time, you were simply more deserving - and yet, the academy drank your milkshake.
Your time will come, PT. You're one of the only directors I can hear in an interview and not want to vomit. You're young and silly and fun and never pretentious, even though you have every right to be. Your movies are getting better and better every time. I've been completely on board with you even since Sydney (Hard Eight,) and every movie since then has been more ambitious, intelligent, subversive and funny than the one before. On the one hand I'm disappointed that Oscar snubbed you this evening. On the other hand, you can kinda take it as a compliment if you think about the company you'd be in.
Crash?
Chicago?
Million Dollar Baby?
Titanic?
Forrest Gump?
