No Country For Old Men won Best Picture while Joel and Ethan Coen took home awards for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Directing for the film at tonight’s 80th Annual Academy Awards ceremony.
In a mini-sweep, No Country took home four Oscar wins — Javier Bardem nabbed the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for the film — while The Bourne Ultimatum (Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, Film Editing) came in second with three awards. La Vie en Rose (Best Actress Marion Cotillard, Best Make Up) and There Will Be Blood (Best Actor Daniel Day-Lewis, Best Cinematography) were tied with two wins each. Atonement grabbed only one award (Best Original Score). Diablo Cody won Best Original Screenplay for Juno.

I thought all the winners were very well chosen, except for Tilda Swinton. She was good in Michael Clayton, but I honestly thought that in comparison to the amazing performances by Cate Blanchett and Amy Ryan in the best supporting actress category, she was outclassed. Shows what I know.

i actually guessed tilda. all of my guesses that i did at oscar.com were spot on– maybe i’ll win those diamonds! wheee! lol! anyway, javier looked oh-so delish and i was jumping up and down when he won. the coen bros couldn’t have been any more adorable either.
