80th Oscars

Best Picture - No Country for Old Men

Best Director - Coen Brothers for No Country for Old Men (they won adapted screenplay too)

Best Original Screenplay - Diablo Cody for Juno

Best Actor - Daniel Day Lewis

Marion Cotillard won for Best Actress for La Vie en Rose, and she was so sincere, it was endearing.

Adapted Screenplay - Coen Brothers for No Country for Old Men

Tilda Swinton wins Best Supporting Actress for Michael Clayton.

Javier Bardem wins Best Supporting Actor for No Country for Old Men. In case you were curious what he was saying in spanish - he thanked his parents parents and said that this was for the actors of Spain and for Spain itself. I liked the bit about the hair cut. :) Btw, another Javier Bardem movie to see - The Sea Inside. It's spanish, but very very good.

Ratatouille wins Best Animated Film.

Jon is great. Not shocking.

Hosted by Jon Stewart, on ABC. Let's see how long I last this year...
