Maybe next time, Mr. Jaynes...

Well, the Coen Brothers walked away with adapted screenplay, director(s), and best picture. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor. It's a really good movie. The one award I was really hoping they would win was for editing because I wanted to see "Roderick Jaynes" accept the award. The introduction of the nominees last night included a great photo of the imaginary film editor. Well, maybe next time. In the meantime, enjoy a piece of his bio from the No Country For Old Men website:

Mr. Jaynes resides in Hove, Sussex, with his Chow, Otto. He remains widely admired in the film industry for his impeccable grooming and is the world's foremost collector of Margaret Thatcher nudes, many of them drawn from life.

Also, a quick note about Jack Nicholson. Does anyone else get the impression he's constantly being whispered a joke no one else can hear?

really really wanted to see Anderson get best director, or even Picture. i am sure it will happen down the road.

PT Anderson will definitely win it someday. Scorsese won on his sixth directing nomination.
