No Country Rules SAG Awards

Posted Jan 28, 08 5:48 CST in Arts & Living 

(Newser) – The Coen brothers' powerfully bleak No Country for Old Men captured the honor for best film and best supporting actor huzzahs for Javier Bardem at the Screen Actors Guild's awards ceremony last night. And in a surprise win, stars James Gandolfini and Edie Falco of the now-defunct HBO hit series "The Sopranos" both grabbed best actor honors. "This was so not supposed to happen," quipped Falco.

The mob saga crew won the award for best ensemble acting in a dramatic series. Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin from "30 Rock" and the ensemble from "The Office" captured TV comedy awards. Julie Christie nailed the top actor award for Away from Her, and Daniel Day-Lewis was named best leading actor in a male role for There Will Be Blood and dedicated his award to Heath Ledger. "I admired him very much," he said in a moving acceptance speech.

    Bleak is the new chic in Tinseltown, writes Dan Zak in the Washington Post. Cloverfield's crowd-trampling monster, the psycho serial killer of No Country for Old Men, and the twisted oil entrepreneur of There Will Be Blood (need we mention the Dark Knight?) highlight the "raw misery of the human condition," sniffs Zak. "Big movies have tent-poled 2008 with a tarp of cruelty."

    How Silver Screen Changed Dark Knight With The Dark Knight set to open in the US at midnight Thursday, Batman will see another reinvention in the series of makeovers that accompanied the character to the silver screen beginning in 1943. The Times of London takes a look:

    • Low-budget Batman (1943) and Batman and Robin (1949) lacked flair and special effects.
    • Tim Burton's Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992) came complete with supervillains such as the Joker and Catwoman.
