There Will Be Blood star Daniel Day-Lewis was named Best Actor in a Leading Role. In his acceptance speech, he signaled out his director, describing the film as having sprung "like a golden sapling out of the mad, beautiful head of Paul Thomas Anderson." Day-Lewis had been nominated in the category three times previously and won in 1989 for his performance in My Left Foot. Robert Elswit earned the award for Best Cinematography; this was his first win, after having been nominated for the 2005 George Clooney film, Good Night, and Good Luck.

Tim Burton's film adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd was recognized for Best Art Direction, with awards going to Dante Ferretti and Francesca Lo Schiavo. This was the ninth nomination for Ferretti and the seventh for Lo Schiavo; the duo won for Art Direction for Martin Scorcese's 2004 film, The Aviator.
