LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Four European actors and the maverick Coen
brothers shared top honors at the Oscars, relegating the traditional
Hollywood of big stars and box office hits to a supporting role this year.

Violent drama "No Country For Old Men" was the big winner on Sunday
night with four Academy Awards, more than any other film, including best
movie, director and adapted screenplay for brothers Joel and Ethan Coen.

The film's fourth award, for best supporting actor, went to Spain's
Javier Bardem for playing a creepy killer of few words. It was the first
Oscar for a Spanish performer in the 80-year history of the world's
premier cinema awards.

As expected, Briton Daniel Day-Lewis won best actor in "There Will Be
Blood," in which he stars as a ruthless oil prospector in early 20th
century America.

But there were surprises in the actress categories.

This is hilarious!!
