No Country for Old Men — the top-grossing film ever produced or directed by the Coen brothers, beating Bad Santa (2003) and O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) respectively — is the odds-on favorite to win the Oscar for Best Picture this Sunday. So I would just like to note that, for the past few weeks, the Miramax Films ‘For Your Consideration‘ website has been linking to a blog post of mine on that film, under the category ‘Notes on the Ending’. Who knows, maybe my musings helped influence some member of the Academy to vote for this film and not some other one. Granted, the Miramax site got the name of this blog wrong — they called it “Film Catch Blog” — but hey, I’ll take the extra traffic just the same, and it’s always good to be grouped with critics like Glenn Kenny, Matt Zoller Seitz and my CT Movies colleague Brett McCracken.
