For the benefit of Oscar voters, Paramount Vantage has created a site highlighting a few of the studio’s possibly-awards-worthy releases from 2007 including A Mighty Heart, Into the Wild, The Kite Runner, Margot at the Wedding, and There Will Be Blood. As a special bonus, they’ve made available PDF versions of the screenplays for all five films, even the ones that haven’t yet hit theaters.

Paul Thomas Anderson’s script for There Will Be Blood isn’t actually linked to on the site, but a helpful commenter over at Slash Film points out that it’s really easy to guess the PDF’s URL. (Or you can just click here.) So, if you and your friends have been itching to act out Anderson’s adaptation of Upton Sinclair’s 1927 novel Oil!, about a greedy twenties oil tycoon, in the privacy of your own homes, now’s your chance!
