And The Oscar Goes To...
Published February 25, 2008
ACHIEVEMENT IN SOUND EDITING- Karen Baker Landers and Per Hallberg for The Bourne Ultimatum. Baker Landers said, "I want to thank the Academy... Universal Studios."
ADAPTED SCREENPLAY - Joel Coen & Ethan Coen for No Country For Old Men. Joel Coen said, "Thank you, Scott Rudin, for bringing us this novel and giving us the opportunity to make the movie. I think whatever success we've had in this area has been entirely attributable to how selective we are. We've only adapted Homer and Cormac McCarthy, so thank you."
Ethan Coen: "We thank you very much."
BEST PERFRORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE - Tilda Swinton for Michael Clayton. Swinton said, "I have an American agent who is the spitting image of this … And I'm giving this to him because there's no way I would be in America at all ever on a plane, if it wasn't for him. So, Brian Swardstrom, I'm giving this to you. And Tony Gilroy walks on water, it's entirely official as far as I'm concerned, and Jen Fox and Steve Samuels, our incredible producers. And Sydney Pollack, and George Clooney, you know, the seriousness and the dedication to your art, seeing you climb into that rubber bat suit from Batman and Robin, the one with the nipples, every morning under your costume, on the set, off the set, hanging upside-down at lunch, you rock, man."
BEST LIVE ACTION SHORT FILM - Philippe Pollet-Villard for Le Mozart Des Pickpockets (The Mozart Of Pickpockets). Pollet-Villard said, "Thank you … I want to thank my producer Fabrice Goldstein and Antoine Rein and my wife Gaby and my son Sebastien."
Archibald said, "Thank you to the academy for this huge honor. I'm overwhelmed. I have a lot of people to thank. My assistants, particularly, my Czech crew that worked with us in Prague and in Paris, they were amazing."
BEST PERFRORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE - Javier Bardem for No Country For Old Men: "Wow. Alright, this is very amazing. It's a great honor for me to have this. I want to and I have to speak fast here, man. Thank you to the Coens for being crazy enough to think that I could do that and put one of the most horrible haircuts in history over my head."
"Thank you for really proving my work. I want to share this with the cast, with the great Tommy Lee Jones, with the great Josh Brolin, with the great Kelly MacDonald. And I want to dedicate this to my mother, and I have to say this in Spanish, and I'm sorry..."
BEST ANIMATED SHORT FILM - Suzie Templeton And Hugh Welchman for Peter and The Wolf. Suzie Templeton said, "This for our fantastic crew and this for everybody who worked so passionately on our film to make our dream come true."
