...that's all I'll be.'" He pitched sitcom pilots and dramas and eventually won an Oscar nomination for co-writing the original screenplay for Good Night, and Good Luck. He makes sure to not get stuck in one character or type of film. He has a Joel and Ethan Coen movie coming out in which he plays an idiot (as he did in their O Brother, Where Art Thou?), and he's working on a movie about the founder of est and a comedy about the 1979 Tehran hostages who escaped. The next movie he directs and co-stars...
...border in less than an hour for lunch, the nearest shopping mall is 200 miles (about 320 km) away. Those who live around here take immense pride in the desolate landscape that served as the backdrop for the films with the most Academy Award nominations this year, Joel and Ethan Coen's murderous No Country for Old Men and Paul Thomas Anderson's epic There Will Be Blood. But instead of buzzing about their potential golden night at the Oscars, locals are more concerned these days with a very real unfolding drama that has the potential to devastate the views...
...turn. Paul Thomas Anderson, writer-director of the critics' darling There Will Be Blood, is 37. Jason Reitman, whose Juno is the only $100 million box-office hit of the five Best Picture finalists, is just 30.

Can it beat out Anderson's parched epic or Reitman's new-family-values comedy? Its other competition: Michael Clayton, with George Clooney agonizing...
...there were few surprises. Oscar shoo-in Javier Bardem picked up the award for best supporting actor, thanking "the mommy and daddy of [directors], Joel and Ethan Coen." The Spaniard acted as if he really wasn't expecting to win, despite having already won every award going - and probably some that haven't even been invented yet - for his villain in No Country for Old Men. The leading actor award went to Daniel Day-Lewis, whose speech seemed designed to show everyone that he's not really as scary as he comes across on screen in There Will Be Blood...
...looks as though Oscar has stopped thinking of Joel and Ethan Coen as those smart-ass kids from Minnesota. After nearly a quarter-century making movies, they've arrived in style with No Country. It earned the brothers four nominations: three under the own names for Best Picture (i.e., producers), Direction and Screenplay, and with the pseudonym Roderick Jaynes for Editing. Now Blood-letter Paul Thomas Anderson is the potential upsetter; and Jason Reitman, 30-year-old son of Canadian comedy conglomerator Ivan Reitman, is the scion to watch...
