No Country for Old Men
Our Thoughts on the Winner
It’s hard to beat the Coen brothers. Out of the three awards they have won, two were won this evening. They already said their piece in the first award, so this time it was left to a simple thank you from Ethan.

Juno
Our Thoughts on the Winner
Diablo Cody won her first Oscar for her work on Juno. She’s come a long way from her days as a stripper! She was wearing an animal print dress. She looked great and had to hold off tears of excitement.

Our Prediction
No Country for Old Men
Ultimate Upset
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

There Will Be Blood
Our Thoughts on the Winner
Cameron Diaz was announcing the award. I have to say that she looked awful in her off the shoulder pink dress. It is beyond me why some of the people that come to the Oscars, seem to go to the trouble of finding a dress (even if it is from Walmart), and then they don’t do their hair.

 The Nominees
Once “Falling Slowly”
Enchanted “Happy Working Song”
August Rush “Raise It Up”
Enchanted “So Close”
Enchanted “That’s How You Know”
Our Prediction
August Rush “Raise It Up”
Ultimate Upset
Enchanted “That’s How You Know”
And the winner is…
Once “Falling Slowly”
Our Thoughts on the Winner
This was one of the most unexpected wins of the night, in my opinion. The live performance was definitely one of the weakest, but the Academy felt that props should go to Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova for the song “Falling Slowly” from their movie, Once.

She wore on a black satin dress that was long sleeved on one arm and sleeveless on the other. Her short red hair made her pasty white skin really stick out as she had little to no makeup on. Her face flushed with shock and excitement when she learned of her win.
