'No Country...' Wins Best Picture

Joel and Ethan Coen's dark drama gets the Oscar nod

The Oscar ceremony was almost cancelled but it ended up being one of the most glam events in Hollywood!

But the jury took a more serious lead - almost all the big dramas of last year took away a few statuettes.

The big winner was No Country For Old Men - Javier Bardem got the Oscar for best supporing actor and indy directors Joel and Ethan Coen won in the best director category - before at the end of the night the film was announced as the best film.

Another 'manly' drama is There Will Be Blood - and Daniel Day Lewis took home the best leading man statuette.

There were a few surprises in the female categories - Marion Cotillard won in the best actress category for La Vie En Rose and Tilda Swinton was honoured as best actress in supporting role.
