The official No Country For Old Men site has had a make-over just in time for the release of the DVD and Blu Ray on March 11th. Check it out. If, like me, you prefer the old design the UK version still has that.

Wins for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor (Javier Bardem) and Best Adapted Screenplay!!! A truly wonderful and deserved end to awards season.

In one night Joel and Ethan walked away with more Oscars than the Academy have deemed worthy to lavish on their presented, Martin Scorsese, which is just not right is it?

I am so happy that this movie has garnered so many awards and particularly the ones last night, here’s hoping the win gives the Coens the clout to be able to raise the money to make To The White Sea which I would really, really love to see made one day.

I’m gutted for Roger Deakins who has been doing incredible work for years and despite many nominations throughout his career for Best Cinematography, indeed he was up for an award TWICE this year, he still cannot bag himself a golden baldie!!!

Here are some pictures from the show;

Matthew emailed in a link to an interesting, little interview with the Coens. You can read it here.

You can read many, many, many interviews with the Coens and other members of the cast and crew of No Country For Old Men by following links from the Miramax site above. Too many for me to list here.

The official No Country For Old Men site keeps on giving us goodies largely due to it’s courting of awards. I just did one of my random checks on the site and found a link to a Miramax site containing lots and lots of cool stuff (production design sketches, interviews, links to articles, clips, etc) that really should make the DVD but, looking at the specs thus far, won’t. Go check it out!

No Country For Old Men producer Scott Rudin was interviewed by the Guardian newspaper here in the UK on February the 8th and dropped this little nugget of information; apparenlty “He has already started working on the next Coen brothers film, an adaptation of The Yiddish Policemen’s Union by Michael Chabon.” Interesting? Anyone read it? I’m gonna!

Nate, over at Chabon website, sugarbombs.com, has had it personally confirmed by Chabon himself so it must be legit information!

Thanks also to Jonathan for mailing in with the link..

No Country For Old Men keeps on racking up awards! At last night’s BAFTAs Joel and Ethan won Best Director, Javier Bardem won Best Supporting Actor and, quite rightly, Roger Deakins won for Best Cinematorgraphy. 3 wins out of 9 is alright I guess but it was beaten the Best Picture by Atonement again! GAH!

Over on the BAFTA site you can watch a 25 minute interview with our favourite siblings chatting to Mark Kemode about their life in movies. Apparenlty it took place on 13th December! I wish I’d known!!! It’s not particulary illuminating but it’s always nice to hear them chat and giggle isn’t it? You can also see a few pics from the BAFTA in the multimedia section, strangely none have Ethan in them so he must have been unable to attend.
