February 2, 2008–The Coen brothers' “No Country for Old Men” took top honors at the 2008 Producers Guild Awards, thus increasing its chnaces of winning the Best Picture Oscar.

Paul Mazursky's serio-comedy “Enemies, A Love Story” was nominated for three Oscars, including two Supporting Actress nods, for Anjelica Huston and Lena Olin.

Analysis of the five nominees for the Foreign-Language Oscar shows that most deal with war, and that with the exception of one, Beaufort, they are all made by major, familiar directors, such as Wajda, Mikhalkov, and Bodrov.

Inexplicably, “Doctor Dolittle,” one of the weakest films to be nominated for Oscars, received nods for Best Picture, though neither star Rex Harrison nor director Richard Fleischer were acknowledged.

“Bonnie and Clyde” was nominated for 10 Oscars, including Best Picture, Director for Arthur Penn
and Original Screenplay and Story), winning two, Supporting Actress for Estelle Parsons and Cinematography for Burnett Guffey.
