...Javier Bardem, the cool Spanish dude who plays a mean malefactor in the Coen brothers' No Country for Old Men, won for Best Supporting Actor Who Happens to Have a Penis. (No Country also took the Best Film Ensemble prize.) Bardem reminded the crowd that, in his country, actors used to be deprived of a Christian burial because they were suspected of being prostitutes and homosexuals. So, we've come a long way, baby. (He apparently hasn't read the showbiz gossip columns lately.) Bardem also thanked for Coens for hiring him and, since they were also the film...

(The PBOC raised rates six times...
...paced. On the other hand, it is, for Allen, a comparatively rare excursion into lower-class life - the setting is London, as it has been in his two previous films - and its portrayal of the contortions upward striving can impose on people eager to move up in class is cool, well-observed and often even touching - especially in Farrell's confusions and eventual meltdown under guilty pressure. The scale of this film is right for this excellent realist, much more appropriate to his talents than the brawnier pictures Hollywood has cast...
