So Windom is AKed?
In the Best Picture category, I'm selecting No Country For Old Men. There's something about Cormac McCarthy's work that really captures the zeitgeist of our culture today, and the other upcoming film adaptations of his work (at least three of them at last count) will have a hard time matching the impact of No Country. There's so many scenes that just stick with you: the dog chasing Llewelyn down the river, the visit between Sheriff Tom and Uncle Ellis, and just about every moment with Anton Chiguhr, including the iconic coin flip. The pacing of the movie is brilliantly done, and I love how the closing scenes are done, from the events at the hotel, to Uncle Ellis, to Chiguhr and Carla Jean, to Tom Bell and his wife. The acting is top notch by everyone, especially Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem and Josh Brolen.
