  • The problem with Cotilard is that is was more an impersonation than acting...... - mr grits 21:36:58 01/27/08 (0)

    Although I loved the movie and all its lushness, including Cotilard, herself.

    If you think TWBB was well done enough to be best picture and have the best (male) lead performance how do pick the Coen's over Anderson for director? I mean doesn't TWBB having the best performance and being the best picture have a something to do with Anderson's direction? Conversely if the Coen's did the best job why isn't their movie better than his?

      thought they deserve the award as much as Anderson. I wasn't totally in love with NCFOM as stated here before, but that wasn't the Coen's fault for following the book's storyline. Or at least the storyline of the book as has been described here, that's a McCarthy I haven't yet read. Since it's a tossup for me, I give it to them. Best movie and best director don't always go hand in hand.

        With all due respect, you owe it to yourself to alter that soon.
        
        It may not change your opinion of the film (which I saw three times after reading the book - we have a screener), but it will undoubtly make you want to add The Coens to the adapted screenplay
        winners list.
        
        How they handled obvious, difficult contractual constrictions in adapting the book is nothing short of brilliant, especially while maintaining their typically excellent signature.
        
        BTW: just finished "The Road".

          My nephew the genius recommended it. I owe him. I may get No Country and send it to him after I read it.

  > Best Picture: No Country for Old Man>

  Agreed.

  > Best Director: Coen Brothers>

  Could go any which way.

  > Best Actor: Daniel Day Lewis or Tommy Lee Jones (In the Valley of Elah)>

  Daniel Day Lewis.

  > Best Actress: Julie Christie or Marillon Cotilard>

  Julie Christie because no one saw "La Vie en Rose"

  > Best Supporting Actor: Javier Bardem>

  Agreed, although Tom Wilkinson in Michael Clayton could be a dark horse.

  > Best Supporting Actress: Tilda Swinton (C. W. WAR) or Saoirse Ronan (Atonement)>

  Perhaps Tilda Swinton but the film was Micheal Clayton.

  Best Original Screenplay - Juno

  Best Animated Film - Ratatouille
