Old Men Poised for Oscar Sweep?

With the Academy Awards forecast looking clear as the writers strike is resolved, the Coen brothers had better dust off their tuxes.

Their No Country for Old Men already has won Producers Guild, Directors Guild, and Writers Guild awards – all good indicators that the siblings should go home with Oscar on Feb. 24.

Ah, but will Atonement get in the way of the gold? The film recently won top honors at the BAFTA Awards.

We shall wait and see, shan’t we?
