No Suprise: 'No Country' Wins Big at the Oscars

Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin celebrate as 'No Country for Old Men' wins Best Picture at the 80th Academy AwardsEthan and Joel Coen, aka the Coen Brothers took home the biggest prizes at tonight's Academy Awards for the film "No Country For Old Men." It wasn't even the best film they've done but then again, Herbie Hancock. Jon Stewart ran the show as he did last year but could do no wrong with Regis Philbin there in the wings.
