The full list of 2008 Oscar nominees can be found here, but the following is a quick run down of the big winners.

1. Paul Thomas Anderson: There Will Be Blood tied for the most nominations among all films with eight. Anderson garnered his third screenplay nomination and his first Best Director nod for a film that was marketed as the prestige pic of the season. That plan worked, making it more than likely this film gets the biggest boost at the box office this weekend.

2. Cate Blanchett: The woman considered by many to be the best actress of her generation became one of the handful of performers to score multiple nominations in the same year. Odds are low on her capturing her first Best Actress statuette, but she is certainly in the running for the Supporting trophy for her work as one of the many faces of Bob Dylan in I’m Not There.

3. Paramount Vantage and Miramax: These two studios claim co-ownership of both There Will Be Blood and No Country for Old Men, the two films that led all films with eight nominations each.

4. Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz: The composer and lyricist collaborators scored three nominations in the Best Song category for their work on Enchanted.

5. Joel and Ethan Coen: The brothers each picked up four nominations, one each for screenwriting, directing, producing, and editing as Roderick Jaynes is the name they take when working together in that capacity.
