How about "none of the above"?

You people are sheep. There Will Be Blood is a great movie but doesnt deserve best picture and NCFOM is the most overrated simpleton movie in the history of filmmaking and I love the Coen Brothers.

What do you think should have been nominated then?

1. There Will Be Blood
2. No Country for Old Men
3. Atonement
4. Michael Clayton
5. Juno

Of course, Juno most definitely doesn't belong with that group.

Try to be less condescending once in a while, makes life more entertaining.

There Will Be Blood was probably my most enjoyed movie of '07, so in my mind it is the best pic of the year. And while I could just as easily find other movies to fill the Nominees, that one stuck with me.

I'm not going to vote as I've only seen two of the nominated films, NCFOM and Juno. No Country was far superior to Juno, but I really don't want to say it's the best of those 5 until I've at least seen TWBB. BTW I liked Juno but think it's a bit overrated. And my overall favorite from 2007 was Into the Wild, with Ratatoullie a close runner up with NCFOM.

There Will Be Blood would be my choice. Its the fastest movng 2.5 hours in my opinion. No country comes out on dvd in a few weeks.

Seen 'em all, now, many of them twice. (In the case of No Country For Old Men, maybe about five times). I'd rank them:

1. There Will Be Blood
2. No Country For Old Men
3. Atonement
4. Michael Clayton (It grows on you on a second viewing)
5. Juno
