This movie won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor in a Supporting Role and Writing (adapted screenplay). Find out whether I agreed with the Academy: No Country for Old Men. As a side note, the 80th Academy Awards aired last Sundy. It received the all-time lowest rating for an Academy Award show. Quite frankly, it was boring. I say, get rid Jon Stewart. He was not funny.

The Coen brothers’ No Country for Old Men, won big tonight, taking home the Oscar for Best Picture, Director, Actor in a Supporting Role and Writing (adapted screenplay). Thankfully, I did manage to see the movie this afternoon before the big show.

The 80th Academy Awards will be held this Sunday, February 24th and if you’re like me, you’ll be glued to your television from red carpet coverage to Best Picture announcement.
