2008 Oscar nominations

Daniel Day-Lewis is nominated for the best actor in a leading role award for his turn as a tyrannical oil baron in There Will Be Blood.

The Coen brothers' much-garlanded No Country For Old Men also has eight nominations. Javier Bardem, above, is recognised in the best actor in a supporting role section for his incendiary turn as a murderous villain. Other categories in which the film is nominated include best cinematography, best director, best film editing, best motion picture, best sound editing and mixing, and best adapted screenplay Photograph: PR

Atonement takes seven nominations, but misses out in many of the top categories. Thirteen-year-old Irish actor Saoirse Ronan is, however, nominated for the best actress in a supporting role Oscar for her performance in Joe Wright's adaptation of the best-selling Ian McEwan novel about the long-term effects of a young girl's mistaken accusation in second world war-era Britain Photograph: PR

George Clooney is nominated for the best actor in a leading role award for his turn as a Mr Fixit lawyer in Michael Clayton. The film did surprisingly well, picking up nominations for best supporting actor, best supporting actress, best director, best original score, best original screenplay and best film Photograph: PR

Pixar's fresh, fun comedy Ratatouille is nominated for best animated feature film, original score, screenplay, sound editing and sound mixing gongs Photograph: PR

Johnny Depp is nominated for the best actor in a leading role award for his starring role in Sweeney Todd: the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. The film also grabs nominations for art direction and costume design but, like Atonement, misses out in some of the other categories in which it might have been expected to find success, including best film and best director for Tim Burton Photograph: PR
