Beverly Hills - No Country For
Old Men, a gory meditation on moral decline, and There Will
Be Blood, a gritty drama about a pioneering California oilman,
led the nominations for the 80th annual Academy Awards on
Tuesday, organisers said.
Atonement, a British period romance revolving around
unrequited passion and devastating lies, picked up seven
nominations, as did the legal thriller Michael Clayton.
All four films were nominated for best picture, along with
the quirky teen pregnancy comedy Juno.
The Academy Awards
will be handed out in Hollywood on February 24.
