For those who didn't watch it:-The Coen brothers’ No Country for Old Men won four Oscars at the 80th Academy Awards in Hollywood last night on a triumphant evening for British talent, which scooped six gongs.
Daniel Day-Lewis won Best Actor for his role as an ruthless oil prospector in There Will Be Blood and Tilda Swinton was named Best Supporting Actress for playing a hard-nosed lawyer in Michael Clayton, as Joel and Ethan Coen’s terrifying chase movie won awards for Best Picture, Director, Adapted Screenplay and Supporting Actor.

It was also a good night for Spain:
Javier Bardem’s on-screen personification of a psychopathic assassin in No Country for Old Men brought him the honor of being the first ever Spanish actor to receive an Academy Award nomination – and he added the actual trophy to the nomination Sunday. The Spaniard had previously taken home the Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role, as well as the Screen Actors Guild Award and BAFTA Award for the same performance.
There were the usual fashion disasters but I'll gloss over those and concentrate on Helen Mirren who we thought looked just stunning in her red dress with Swarovski crystal.
