2008

The peerless Daniel Day Lewis scooped both the Critics' Choice Award and Academy Award for Best Actor in 2008 following his stellar performance as Daniel Plainview in There Will Be Blood, while the Coen Brothers' No Country For Old Men achieved a similar feat in the Best Picture category. Julie Christie took the Critics' Choice Award for Best Actress for her performance in Away From Her, but was beaten to the Oscar by La Vie en Rose's Marion Cotillard.

The People voted for yet another franchise as their Favourite Movie in the form of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, with that film's star Johnny Depp perhaps unsurprisingly taking Favourite Male Movie Star. Another People's Choice Awards favourite, Reece Witherspoon, took Favourite Female.
