And the Oscar goes to...

So, the Coens did it: No Country wins Best Film, Director, Supporting Actor and Adapted Screenplay. The other big winners on the night: La Vie En Rose (Best Actress for Marion Cotillard and Make-up) and The Bourne Ultimatum (three technical wins).

Roger Deakins failed to win Best Cinematography despite two nominations; the award went to There Will Be Blood.
The other surprises of the night: Tilda Swinton winning Best Supporting Actress; and Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova winning Best Song for Falling Slowly from Once.

In the end, Atonement could only secure Best Score.

And what of sound-mixer Kevin O'Connell? I'm afraid it was 20th time unlucky as the award went to the team on Bourne.
