Hollywood Boulevard is predicting that No Country For Old Men will out do its competitors and win the Oscar for ‘best picture’ at this week’s Academy Awards.
No Country for Old Men has been nominated for best picture along with Juno, Atonement, Michael Clayton and There Will be Blood. All films appear worthy of their nominations, however, Hollywood columnist, Jeanne Wolf, Hollywood says “The smart money is on No Country For Old Men”. This is an opinion shared by others in the movie field with Los Angeles Times film critic, Tom O’Neil, suggesting that the best picture result is a “no brainer”. He explains that “Oscar voters tend to vote for best film based on who the director is and there is a strong feeling in Hollywood that this is the year of the Coen brothers”.
Joel and Ethan Coen’s dark thriller, No Country for Old Men, is full to the brim with 
violence, mayhem and dead bodies and has already won numerous awards, including top prizes from the Critics’ Choice Awards and is nominated for an astounding for 8 Oscars and the approaching ceremony. Is this film unstoppable?
“Of course there is always space for jaw-droppers” O’Neil exclaims, and this year it would, please many to see the loveable, quirky film Juno win the award. Although realistically, however heart warming the content may be, this appears unlikely. Jeffery Wells, of website Hollywood commented, “You have to look at the guilds, and it’s been No Country all the way”.
