So, the 80th Acadeny Awards is over and once again we have a whole bunch of winners. As usual I’ve taken the liberty of presenting the winners in the big categories. For a complete list – go to the offical Academy Awards site. 

“No Country for Old Men” won four Academy Awards. Excellent film. Three statuettes to “The Bourne Ultimatum“. Solid action movie. 

I was pleased to see “Juno” take home an award. I’m also very happy for Marion Cotillard who won a statuette for her performance in “La Vie en Rose.” Without further ado- I present the winners of the 80th Annual Academy Awards (2008):
