Coen Brothers Claims 4 Oscars with 'No Country For Old Men'

February 24, 2008 -- Joel and Ethan Coen's NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN emerged as the top winner, taking home four Oscars, including Best Picture, at the 80th annual Academy Awards, outdueling Paul Thomas Anderson's THERE WILL BE BLOOD (the two hard-hitting dramas entered with 8 nominations apiece). Four films currently playing at the Camera Cinemas won a total of 8 Oscars.

In addition to the big prize, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN also earned the Coen brothers their first Oscars for Best Director and Adapted Screenplay, and the great Javier Bardem a Supporting Actor trophy. The Best Actor award, as expected, went to Daniel Day Lewis for THERE WILL BE BLOOD, and Marion Cottilard surprised favorite Julie Christie in the Best Actress category for her amazing performance in LA VIE EN ROSE.

ATONEMENT and MICHAEL CLAYTON, both entering with 7 nominations, took home only one Oscar apiece, the former for its Original Score and the latter for Supporting Actress Tilda Swinton. The night's other multiple winner, THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM, won three Oscars for Sound, Sound Editing and Film Editing.
