Oscar Night 2008

No Country, foreign films win big.

It was an international affair at the 80th Academy Awards, as all of the acting awards went to foreign actors, but the country that came out on top at the end of the night was no country--For Old Men, that is. The film, adapted from a novel by Cormac McCarthy, took home four awards, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. The Bourne Ultimatum slid in with the second highest Oscar total, taking three awards for sound and editing.

The acting awards were polar opposites as the races on the men's side were no surprises, with the presenters forgoing the dramatic pause for quick announcements for favorites Javier Bardem for his work as the psycopathic Anton Chigurh in No Country For Old Men and Daniel Day-Lewis for his role in There Will Be Blood. On the women's side, the races were tight, but French actress Marion Cotillard took home an award for her work in La Vie en Rose and Tilda Swinton broke out of the supporting pack winning for Michael Clayton.

The indie-tastic surprise hit Juno found screenwriter Diablo Cody being awarded for first screenplay. Brad Bird and Pixar won Best Animated Feature once again for their culinary rat flick Ratatouille. The night's only major upsets came when Michael Moore's Sicko was taken out in the Best Documentary category by Taxi To The Dark Side and Enchanted failed to win Best Original Song, though it controlled half of the category's nominations.
