The Coen Brothers return to gritty Noir-tinged cinema has been a success, both commercially as well as artistically.

Thus far, No Country for Old Men has rec’d the following awards:
the New York Film Critics Circle: Best Film.
Boston Society of Film Critics: Best Film, Javier Bardem for best supporting Actor.
Washington D.C. Area Film Critics Association: Best film, Javier Bardem for best supporting actor.
The National Board of Review: Best Film, Best Ensemble cast, Best adapted Screenplay.

Does anyone have any doubts as to whether the Coen Brothers are heading for another Oscar nomination? Javier seems a lock to get a nomination for best supporting. His next role is scheduled to be Pablo Escobar for Joe Carnahan’s Killing Pablo.
