Paul Dano didn't have to act terrified in the finale of There Will Be Blood (2007). Daniel Day-Lewis was hurling real bowling balls at him with full force. Dano admitted he genuinely feared for his safety as the heavy props bounced around him.

I don’t know what got into Tarantino when he watched Paul Dano in There Will Be Blood, but he missed one crucial point: Dano proved he’s one of the rare actors who didn’t get overshadowed while sharing the screen with a powerhouse like Daniel Day-Lewis.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s role in Paul Thomas Anderson’s 'One Battle After Another' is one of the most unusual and unexpected roles of his career. If nominated, it would mark his 8th Academy Award nomination, and if he wins, his second Oscar.

Cate Blanchett losing Best Actress for TÁR (2022) to Michelle Yeoh is the kind of Oscar decision that ages worse every year. The performance is on the level of Daniel Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood (2007), and the Academy already knows it.

Before filming began, Edward Norton and Edward Furlong shaved their heads for their roles. Edward Norton also gained 30 pounds of muscle. Constant changes to the script by Edward Furlong and Edward Norton resulted in Tony Kaye being disappointed with the project and leaving him wanting to quit. Kaye claimed their tinkering with the script changed the script radically from his own vision of it. He was also reportedly so unsatisfied with Norton's performance that he still, to this day feels the movie is unfinished. American History X (1998).

Paul Thomas Anderson’s earned a handful of #Oscar nominations over the last 30 years but has never been awarded the statue. I think that changes in one week. It’s still a little weird he didn’t win an Academy Award for There Will Be Blood. It’s an American masterpiece.

I’m still stunned Paul Dano didn’t receive an Oscar nomination for There Will Be Blood. I understand the Best Supporting Actor field was loaded that year (Bardem, Affleck, PSH, etc.) but there needed to be room for Dano. He literally goes toe-to-toe with peak Daniel Day-Lewis.

Benicio del Toro accepted the role of Sensei Sergio St. Carlos for 'One Battle After Another' primarily because it was directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. Del Toro stated he didn’t even read the script, but trusted Anderson, calling the opportunity to work with the director and co-star Leonardo DiCaprio a great experience. Man, I aspire to be as chilled out as Sensei 🙌🏼

Daniel Day-Lewis stayed fully in character for My Left Foot (1989) — even off-camera. Crew members were frustrated because they had to wheel him around everywhere, as if he truly couldn’t walk. Even his own agent walked off the set after Day-Lewis refused to drop the act for a single conversation. He held Christy Brown’s posture for so long, he broke two ribs during filming.
