Oscars list

The 80th Annual Academy Awards were given away today. The best movie award went to "No country for Old men." Ratotutile bagged the best animated film award. The best actor was none other than Day - Lewis for the movie, 'There will be Blood'. The Coen brothers completed their journey from the fringes to Hollywood's mainstream on Monday with their crime saga No Country for Old Men winning four Academy Awards, including best picture, in a ceremony that also featured a strong international flavour.

Javier Bardem won for supporting actor in No Country, which earned Joel and Ethan Coen best director, best adapted screenplay and the best-picture honour as producers. Accepting the directing honour alongside his brother, Joel Coen recalled how they have been making films since childhood, including one at the Minneapolis airport called Henry Kissinger: Man on the Go.

La Vie En Rose star Marion Cotillard was a surprise winner for best actress, riding the spirit of Edith Piaf to Oscar triumph over Julie Christie, who had been expected to win for Away From Her.
