Purveyors of the movie awards season were choking on the rush of critics groups’ announcements today. “No Country for Old Men” continued its push towards Oscar gold, winning three of the four Best Pic prizes announced today. “There Will Be Blood,” however, hooked the Los Angeles Film Critics Association big-time, winning for Picture, Director (Paul Thomas Anderson), and Lead Actor (Daniel Day-Lewis).
