No Country For Old Men won Best Picture while Joel and Ethan Coen took home awards for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Directing for the film at tonight's 80th Annual Academy Awards ceremony.

Live Blog: Academy Award Winners 2007
The 80th Annual Academy Awards ceremony will be broadcast live on ABC tonight starting at 5pm PT/8pm ET -- check back here OFTEN as we update this post with the list of winners.
If we aren't bored to tears, we'll also do some live blogging of the event as well. Let's see what happens. [UPDATE: Yes, we're live blogging the whole damn night.] So far, the E!

But after one glance at the list of artists on the soundtrack, I assumed that these tunes would do little else besides put me right to sleep (and I was wrong)...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom!
