Roderick Jaynes, that cantankerous, old Englishman has been nominated for his sterling editing work on the Coen brothers’ latest movie, A Serious Man. The 60th annual American Cinema Editors dish out their “Eddies” ond February 14, 2010 at the Beverly Hilton.

The best of luck to him.

Amusingly editor, Roderick Jaynes, was Oscar nominated for his fine work on No Country For Old Men. As regular readers will know he doesn’t actually exist, he is a figment of the Coen brothers minds. They have used his name on all of their films but we’ve never SEEN him before. Till this year’s ceremony when they used this picture to represent him. Anyone know who this dapper gent actually is?

Today the Academy announced the nominations for this year’s Oscars. No Country For Old Men and Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood topped the table for most noms with eight apiece. The Coen brothers have been nominated in both the Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay categories while Javier Bardem has picked up yet another Best Supporting Actor nod and the movie is also up for the big one- Film of the Year. Other noms are Achievement in Cinematography (Roger Deakins), Achievement in Film Editing (Coen alias Roderick Jaynes), Achievement in Sound Mixing and Achievement in Sound Editing. The 80th Academy Awards takes place on 25th February. No word on whether or not the WGA strike will affect it.
