LOS ANGELES - The Coen brothers completed their journey from the
fringes to Hollywood's mainstream on Sunday, their crime saga
"No Country for Old Men" winning four Academy Awards, including best
picture, in a ceremony that also featured a strong international flavor.
The Oscar broadcast began with a fanfare and an effects-laden opening
segment showing key characters and creatures from past films lining Hollywood Boulevard.
Stewart started his opening monologue with a wisecrack about the 100-day writers strike that
ended just in time for the Oscars to come off as usual.
"These past three and a half months have been very tough. The town was torn apart by a bitter
writer's strike, but I'm happy to say that the fight is over," Stewart said. "So tonight, welcome to the makeup sex."
