Paramount cuts art-house unit after Oscar glory (Reuters)

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Paramount Pictures has downsized the art-house division that helped produce the Oscar-winning movies "No Country For Old Men" and "There Will Be Blood."

Paramount Vantage will continue as a production label under president Nick Meyer. But the 2-year-old studios marketing, distribution and physical production departments will be taken over by its parent. Three senior positions are being cut, including that of Vantage distribution executive vp Rob Schulze.

The art-house division partnered with Miramax Films on both best picture Oscar winner "No Country For Old Men" and "There Will Be Blood," for which Daniel Day-Lewis won the best actor statuette. Other notable releases included "Into the Wild" and "An Inconvenient Truth."

Studio specialty divisions have taken a hit in Hollywood recently. Warner Bros. last month shuttered its Warner Independent Pictures and Picturehouse units.
