And the Oscar winners are …
Posted on February 25th, 2008 by Hot Momma
Crime saga “No Country for Old Men” won four Academy Awards, including best picture, in a ceremony that also featured a strong international flavor. All four acting prizes went to Europeans: Frenchwoman Cotillard, Spaniard Bardem, and Brits Day-Lewis and Tilda Swinton, the supporting-actress winner for “Michael Clayton.”
The only other time in the Oscars’ 80-year history that all four acting winners were foreign born was 1964, when the recipients were Rex Harrison, Julie Andrews, Peter Ustinov and Lila Kedrova. Here are some of the key awards.
