There Will Be Blood, the movie inspired by Upton Sinclair's novel Oil!, won the 2008 Academy Awards for 'Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role and Achievement in Cinematography '.

Daniel Day-Lewis was awarded the Academy Award for his riveting performance as Daniel Plainview, the center of an epic tale about family, greed, religion and oil.

Robert Elswit was awarded the Academy Award for Cinematography.
