Color The Beverly Hillbillies jealous.

While Jed Clampett's Texas tea-rich clan never won much in the way of critical praise, filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood, about a turn-of-the-century oil baron, dominated the Los Angeles Film Critics Association awards.

The film, starring Daniel Day-Lewis as an acquisitive crud man not soon to be confused for Clampett, was named Best Picture by the group on Sunday. It won three other awards, including Best Actor (Day-Lewis) and Best Director (Anderson).

French star Marion Cotillard was named Best Actress for channeling chanteuse Edith Piaf in the biopic La Vie en Rose.

Amy Ryan, one of those actresses who's worked forever to become an overnight sensation, was tapped Best Supporting Actress for her breakout film roles in Ben Affleck's Gone Baby Gone and Sidney Lumet's Before the Devil Knows You're Dead.

Russian actor Vlad Ivanov was named Best Supporting Actor for the Cannes-acclaimed abortion drama 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days.

The Coen Brothers' No Country for Old Men, named Best Picture last week by the National Board of Review, was completely shut out.

The L.A. scribes' awards will be followed on Monday by the picks from the New York critics, and on Thursday by the Golden Globe nominations. Award-show season is officially now in high season.

Where Hollywood is concerned, the L.A. critics awards are not so much about forecasting Oscar winners—in the last decade, not one of its Best Picture selections has gone onto claim the Academy's top prize—as they are about giving studios something to brag about in ads.

To that end, the L.A. critics helpfully name not only winners, but also runners-up in the top categories.

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, the no-excuses movie about a stroke-stricken magazine editor who dictates a book with his one good eye, was the L.A. writers' second favorite movie of the year. It "won" runner-up in the Best Picture, Best Director (Julian Schnabel) and Best Foreign-Language Film categories. It outright claimed the Best Cinematography prize.

Anderson was runner-up in the screenplay field to The Savages' Tamara Jenkins.

Frank Langella, who plays a storied writer in Starting Out in the Evening, was Day-Lewis' second; Anamaria Marinca, of 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, was the Best Actress close-but-no-cigar designee.

Cate Blanchett (I'm Not There) and Hal Holbrook (Into the Wild) were the runners-up in the supporting acting categories.

Michael Moore's Sicko did not win Best Documentary, but it didn't get ignored, either. The health-care-industry horror tale was runner-up to the Iraq War-examining No End in Sight.

Honorees will be celebrated Jan. 12 in a ceremony in Los Angeles.
