And the awards go to … ‘Ratatouille,’ ‘No Country,’ ‘Atonement’
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
With the pending end of the Writers Guild strike, the future looks red (as in carpet) for the Oscars. I saw my first Academy Awards ad on ABC Sunday night.
The weekend was full of awards. “Ratatouille” was the main attraction at The Annies (it won eight awards) and also did well in animation categories at the Visual Effects Society. The latter awards also honored “Transformers” and “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.”
The results of the British Academy Film Awards looked a little bit like the Golden Globes. “Atonement” won best film. Others honored included Daniel Day-Lewis (“There Will Be Blood”) for best actor, Marion Cotillard (“La Vie En Rose”) for best actress, Javier Bardem (“No Country for Old Men”) for best supporting actor and Tilda Swinton (“Michael Clayton”) for best supporting actress. Joel and Ethan Coen (“No Country for Old Men”) took best director.
Also over the weekend, the Writers Guild named its winners. As expected, the victors were “Juno” in original screenplay and “No Country for Old Men” in adapted screenplay.

It ought to get Best Picture, but of course, it won’t.
