I gave Atonement the Oscar edge because it was the sweeping epic picture, whereas No Country for Old Men was the bolder film. I actually find both movies to be equally great and would put Atonement as my personal favourite of the two, but I really did think it was going to win the big one last night. 697975@blogcritics.org Mon, 25 Feb 2008 19:13:30 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/02/25/144907.php#comment-697972 I noticed, but you also selected Atonement as "Best Picture." Merit for the Swinton selection, but a resounding, "Come on," for not choosing No Country for Old Men. 697972@blogcritics.org Mon, 25 Feb 2008 19:01:27 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/02/25/144907.php#comment-697911 "Who picked Tilda Swinton's name to follow the words, 'And the Oscar goes to...?'" I did. :) 697911@blogcritics.org Mon, 25 Feb 2008 15:40:44 EST
