Academy Awards Ceremony Highlights
No Country For Old Men
Producer of No Country for Old Men, Scott Rudin accepted the Academy Award for Best Motion Picture of the Year for No Country For Old Men.
"I want to thank my friend, Sydney Pollack, who taught me that with the responsibility -- with the opportunity to make movies comes the responsibility of making them good. This for him," Scott Rudin said. (Academy Awards Live Broadcast)
The Coen Brothers accepted their Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, and the duo played off each other humorously, and in sync.
"Thank you very much for this. Thank you, Scott Rudin for bringing us this novel and giving us the opportunity to make the movie. I think whatever success we've had in this area has been entirely attributable to how selective we are. We've only adapted Homer and Cormac McCarthy, so thank you," Joel Coen said.

"We, uh and thank you very much," Ethan Coen said and he was met with chuckles from the audience of celebrities.
The Coens kept up their act when they accepted Achievement in Directing.
"I don't have a lot to add to what I said earlier. Thank you," Ethan Coen said.
