Final Oscar Results
The broadcast is now over and the parties are about to start. The 2008 Academy Awards are now history, but not without two major surprises.
The Shadow's predictions earlier tonight came to pass with the exception of Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress.
In the first major surprise of the evening, Tilden Swinton beat out favorite Cate Blanchett for Best Supporting Actress for her role as a lawyer in the movie "Michael Clayton".
In what was perhaps the biggest surprise of the evening, French actress Marion Cotillard beat out favorite Julie Christie for her role as singer Edith Pilaf in the movie "La Vie en Rose". To Ms. Cotillard's credit, this award was definitely well-deserved even with the fact that La Vie en Rose did not play to wide distribution.
So to summarize the winners:
- Best Picture -- No Country for Old Men
- Best Actor -- Daniel Day-Lewis (There Will Be Blood)
- Best Actress -- Marion Cotillard (La Vie en Rose)
- Best Supporting Actor -- Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men)
- Best Supporting Actress -- Tilda Swinton (Michael Clayton)
- Best Director -- Joel Cohen and Ethan Cohen (No Country for Old Men)
- Best Original Score -- Atonement
- Best Original Song -- "Falling Slowly" (Once)
