"No Country" Wins!

The movie grips your attention from beginning to end - a well-deserved win for the Coen Brothers!
It was a golden night for the Coen brothers.

The iconoclastic filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen won three Academy Awards -- and made history Sunday evening -- with their wins for best picture, director and adapted screenplay for their gritty contemporary Western, "No Country for Old Men."

It also won an Oscar for supporting actor for Javier Bardem, who plays the merciless paid assassin at the center of the film.

The Coens are the first sibling team to win for best director and the first directing team to win since Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins for 1961's "West Side Story."
