Wasent the Oscar winner Last Picture Show filmed in Marfa?

Giant and There Will be Blood both were filmed in part in Marfa and were both nominated for best picture but lost. What's the other winner besides No Country?

 

[SuperG24]

Are you sure about "No Country" being filmed in or around Marfa? I recall reading in Variety that although it was supposed to be West Texas, they filmed it in Arizona.

 

[Mack Tripper]

Yes, parts were filmed in Marfa, Eagle Pass/Piedras Negras, Big Bend, and New Mexico.
