The Coen brothers winning an Oscar® for Best Directing

[ptjordan11]

Ethan Coen= the master of Oscar speeches.



[IbeJigsaw]

PTA looked pissed...

[JohnTripinTokyo]

PTA will win next year for his upcoming masterpiece 'The Master'. Just wait and see. By the way, the Coen Brothers have proved they're brilliant directors and 'No Country for Old Men' is their best work to date.

[CloudX100]

Paul Thomas Anderson is one of the greatest living directors, and just barely 40. With his talent and ambition, it's inevitable he'll get his Oscar. Anyway, I'm not bashing the Coen brothers, they're fantastic and this was a deserved win.

[JustinFriesen]

PTA deserves the next one!

[AcademyAwardsPerson]

Jason Reitman claps funny.

[karezza6]

Zionist cunts.

[nathanrussell88]

@billbenblue they thanked him when they won for screenplay, which is really a more appropriate time to do it

[EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

The Coen brothers have their own genre, IMO- the "inept victim" film. That is, the criminals are inept and stupid because the victims are even more inept and stupid (e.g. Burn After Reading, Fargo, etc.) Maybe that's just me, though.

[nathanrussell88]

song when they win?

[88mphsss]

Have these dudes ever talked with Soderbergh? Ugh that'd be so boring I wanna hear it! They all know Clooney so I'm sure it's possibly taken place.

[darkknight07100]

It's almost too bad they can't be the underdogs who never won their deserved Oscars. But who cares? They deserved more than ever for No Country.

[dahfshx]

look for "Nando Reis" on google images... he looks just like Ethan Coen.

[drasticwillb]

I came to this page to see what kind of psychos make such an evil movie with no redeeming moral value at all. To think from the time they were 12 to now and that sick piece of crap is all they could come up with. And here not even a comment to this end. What a horrible place and time in the history of creation.

[TheMurePolly]

@drasticwillb it's adapted from a book, buddy

[Shyreenify]

@drasticwillb Calm down. It's only a movie.

[EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

@drasticwillb And a movie about a ruthless oil magnate who neglects his deaf son and is a borderline sociopath himself is better?

[Alldayeveryday404]

Henry Kissinger: Man on the Go. in theaters this summer

[AStopMotionChannel]

I hear a lot that Ethan is more of the writer and Joel is more of the director. Does anyone know how true this is?

[DonRMB]

The Coen deserved it just as much as PTA deserved it but dont worry PTA will get his soon... THE MASTER coming december 2012 and I can not wait.

[malows1234]

@DonRMB no it isn't man, the master is 2013 release. this pisses me off because i was waiting for years for the next paul anderson picture. i mean god this pisses me the hell off. i wish paul anderson would get his crap togather and not waste his talent by taking 40000000 years to make 1 film. and i also wish he would quit smoking, i really dont want him to die young.

[DonRMB]

@malows1234 NO, it has been announced for a December 2012 Release, they finished Production/Filming a couple weeks ago. Now onto the Post-Production Process!

[pacificpitbull]

whats "pta"?

[DonRMB]

@pacificpitbull Paul Thomas MOTHERTRUCKING Anderson...One of the Best Directors of the last 20 years.

[TrentH190]

pfff what an empty speech 

[filmformepls]

Disappointing that PTA didn't win for TWBB. I especially can't believe he lost in the best adapted screenplay category.... I mean, really? Well, hopefully he'll win for "The Master".

[rexcrossnet]

Why are they don't holding the Oscar the won for Best Script to?

[choco4196]

Martin Scorsese is like: I'M TOO COOL TO LAUGH AT THOSE PIECE OF GAEBAGE WHO WON AN OSCAR BEFORE ME

[Julie15gtc]

They just attended a panel at my school in Tel Aviv today. LOVE them!

[ASHBOX86]

PTA should've won tbh. TWBB is a masterpiece.

[DerOgraf]

Lang, Kubrick, Bergmann and The Coen Bros °°°

[528491Inception]

chris rock things george bush doesnt give a fuck, the coen's don't give a fuck

[Tigerlily21]

And the Coens deserved it over Paul Thomas Anderson. Anderson is a great director too and did a great job, but he was overshadowed by Daniel Day Lewis's performance. It was the Daniel Day Lewis show. No Country For Old Men is just a showcase of skillful direction. Just look at the way they direct that hotel shootout. The Coens deserved it.

[malows1234]

@Tigerlily21 wat kind of horse shit is that? paul thomas anderson was overshadowed by daniel lewis? oh yes i see how it works, martin scorsese was overshadowed by robert de niro everytime right? so great actor in a movie, means the director EXCELLENT job doesn't matter right?. look i love to watch the coen brothers win every award. but this was not their year. they should have won for fargo. i mean paul thomas had this on such a lockdown. this was paul's year. but i agree coens got robbed alot.

[Tigerlily21]

@malows1234 Let me explain, there are certain films where the performance is better than the movie. Look at every Meryl Streep film. Raging Bull as a whole is a masterpiece. I think the reason why the Coens beat PTA is because NCFOM was a more of a showcase for the Coens skills, while people that year saw TWBB as a showcase for DDL. They were talking about DDL not PTA and some think PTA rips off Kubrick and other directors too much. He did NOT have this on lockdown. Both great films anyway.

[Tigerlily21]

It was about time the Coen brothers were recognized! I can't believe the Academy ignored some of their most brilliant work like Barton Fink and my fave of all time, Miller's Crossing. They are geniuses and the best filmmakers working and we should she proud to have geniuses like them provide us with great storytelling and filmmaking so often in this crappy film era.

[Satschinga]

the coens are so fucking cool! love them!

[sitiosanguinem]

they are a bit awkward

[plugge]

@sitiosanguinem No they are not awkward. Your awkward for thinking that.

[Ganonlink1991]

Oscars where is Danny Boyle's oscar win video? Why was it removed? Also where's Tilda's win??

[Finelight12]

PT Anderson was robbed...

[m2dff]

that was a great movie. Very rare that two brothers could win an oscar. Still paul thomas anderson did great. Congrats Coens!

[xboxguy72]

i thought the film was good but you really had to look at it different besides focusing on the story.. you had to pretty much look at the theme of the story..

[happygirl274]

FARGO was a good movie too but it didn't win teh oscar because it was very annoying. every moment there was a 'yah'. that made the movie quite horrible

[UtoobRulz]

there will be blood for old man

[tabber87]

Too bad Roderick James didn't win.

[jace55]

roderick jaynes* hahha

yea really eh?

coens coulda had 4 in one night.. first time that would've ever happened

[sheridanb]

Quite the reclusive genius, isn't he?

[thelonefilmmaker]

Well deserved! And brilliant that they were both officially recognised as directors when that is not favoured!

Rob AKA The Lone Filmmaker - watch me make a feature film entirely on my own in an attempt to make cinematic history.

[codykingo]

man no country for old men was great, but I'd really like to see Paul Thomas Anderson win one!

[fargoisgr8movie]

Historic moment. I initially felt a little disappointed at how casual they were when accepting it, but after repeated viewings, you can tell that they're quiet because they're nervous and let's not forget that Joel Coen said "We're thrilled". So honestly it's just their own eccentric way of expressing gratitude.

[camillle30jd]

Wish I could have seen the beginning part of this.

[JustAddWater69]

Man, that's not a theme song the other contestants want to listen to.

[fargoisgr8movie]

Historic moment

[spdnk927]

Nerds

[aa4285]

yes they may be nerds. RICH NERDS!!!

[iwannago2lawskool]

extremely talented rich nerds!!!!!

[DAblackdahliamurder]

The hot Cohen wives!

[qtfan1121]

Ethan: "I don't have a lot to add to what I said earlier: Thank you"

What he said earlier:"Thank you"

So in a sense, he just added a lot to what he said earlier!

[TobiasNeverNude]

They've certainley made some great films, but all in all I think they're overrated. However, they did deserve the Oscar for this film.

[SpringSauce23]

overrated -_-... have you seen all their films? to think these guys made raising arizona to fargo to no country to name a few movies, i can't figure out why you think their overrated... unless you feel it important to want to be different than everybody else... these guys are loved by film viewers and makers around, unlike say tarantino who makes 1 good movie and just has his bandwagon on his nuts all the time... coens make 100% great american pictures

[fuddyboi]

the Coen Brothers dont need oscars to prove they are genius

[scutter28]

without the coen brothers movie would be viewed completely differently

[BansheeBeatsss]

PTA.. :-(

[SpringSauce23]

great director, but coen brothers have a long history of great films, PTA is on his way to becoming 1 of the greats

[Tigerlily21]

@SpringSauce23 agreed. Plus The Coens have established their own style. From film to film it just seems like PTA is always aping another filmmaker for each project. I don't know what his own style is. But There Will Be Blood is his best film yet, so I hope it means he's getting better.

[malows1234]

@Tigerlily21 dude his style is his own, pta does does what pta does. noone in filmmaking treat their characters like pta. NOONE. he has a way of exploring his characters, that is absolutely unique. his characters are not explored ever in contrast to other characters in the film. for example, in boogie nights all we see are porn stars, so we cant really judge them agianst each other, instead we have to judge their actions by our moral standards, whereas in other movies there is a good and a bad.

[Tigerlily21]

@malows1234 He's not the first to show characters that way. There are plenty of examples of films where you only see characters in their world. Watch gangster films buddy.

[malows1234]

@SpringSauce23 1 of the greats? is that fuking joke? pta is on his way to match wits with Stanley Kubrick himself. i dont know what you mean "one of the greats"

[AScearce2332]

@SpringSauce23 If Boogie Nights and Magnolia and There Will Be Blood didnt prove that, I sincerely hope The Master will.

[zzzztop]

Jesus, guys. The Coens are very private people, that's way they normally are. It's not they were 'so full of themselves' or anything, they also twitch a lot when they talk--they are on a completely different wavelength than us untalented forks.

[Alakiri08]

"..and we are very thankful to all of you out there for letting us continue to play in our corner of the sandbox."

Just amazing.. you really have to read in to it to understand what they really saying.

[nmr4991]

Why do they both touch their ears?

[reikosan07]

Because they seem to be very nervous... or that is something one would do in such situation.

Congratulations on the Oscar win to the brothers.

[M0hj]

It's a normal human act. To draw attention towards something else but your eyes/face (yourself).

Typically a nervous/anxious reaction.

[shoebrush101]

they seem sooooo full of themselves up there on stage, they just won the most coveted of awards for film and they play it off as though it was nothing. Still a great film though.

[Boshanks]

the oscars are bullshit, film is not at all about competition. they make great art. end of story.

[nedmu]

If PTA was disappointed he should've done his homework. only like 3 films that haven't won best director for the dag's went on to win the oscar. personally i like blood better than country though.

[colkurtz8]

Ya I noticed that too.P.T was not too happy both are great films & filmakers though.I guess we the audience are the real winners...as well as Ethan & Joel.Respect to all concerned

[roman1111hy]

they don't really talk, they are very private. george clooney jokes about this.

[shantidude]

Best part = Frances McDormand whistling at the end.

[nocountry4oldfreeman]

There was a leak about a week ago that P.T. Anderson felt his film and he should win. Looking at his face, I kind of believe it now. He thought he should have won.

[therealmbassy]

'i don't have a lot to add' LOL
