Ask SFist: No Country for Old Men?

We received a curt Oscar-related message this morning:

Um, how the did No Country for Old Men win best picture?

Not sure. But if we had to pick our favorite lots-of-dust-and-blood film of the year, it would go to There Will Be Blood. But we (sort of) enjoyed the -- how do we say this delicately? -- East Coast-friendly Coen Brothers film. Are we missing something? Did it not deserve its crowning of best picture?

Also, more to the point, where was Sally Kirkland?
