Good points, Trev re: The New World. I thought the young girl was a lock to get a nomination but she didn't. Her transformation was much more complex than what we saw from the young girl in that film from New Zealand (I can't remember the title, sorry). Malick's film comes as close to a true art object as possible: on many occasions it feels like a video installation as I've said before. But the sound is very important as well, not the dialogue, but the ambient, naturalistic sound. Films like The New World don't win awards, but they're around for a long, long time.
