We received a curt Oscar-related message this morning:

Um, how the did 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?

No Country for Old Men
