- Josh Brolin and James McAvoy presenting Joel Coen and Ethan Coen with the Oscar® for Best Adapted Screenplay for "No Country for Old Men" at the 80th Academy Awards® in 2008. Introduced by Jon Stewart.
From Cormac McCarthy.
Interviewer: Didn't you start No Country for Old Men as a screeplay?
CM: In fact, they said, "That will never work." Years later I got it out and turned it into a novel. Didn't take long. I was at the Academy Awards with the Coens. They had a table full of awards before the evening was over, sitting there like beer cans. One of the first awards that they got was for Best Screenplay, and Ethan came back and he said to me, "Well, I didn't do anything, but I'm keeping it."
I'm still amazed that McCarthy didn't get a writing credit for the film. Most of the dialogue is word-for-word lifted from the novel
@@Jonmad17 Unfortunately there are 2 directors and these studios screw many people.
@@vb8428 yup. Previously because of the way directing unions worked Joel and Ethan couldn't even get duel directing credits for a while. Only one of them did.
so, does that mean Ethan didn't write Fargo?
Ethan's speech is priceless.
"We um,.... eh,.... thank you." No thank you Ethan for the greatest speech that year.
He arguably tops it with his Best Director speech later that night.
This was the year of the Coen Brothers, but Paul Thomas Anderson WILL get his Oscar eventually. Just you wait and see.
crossing my fingers for Inherent Vice
Maybe, but I think Paul Thomas Anderson needs to modulate his effects. His movies, in my opinion, sometimes trade on out-sized, inauthentic emotions. Magnolia is one of the most annoying movies I have ever seen. But I loved Hard Eight and liked Boogie Nights a lot. But the flaws in Boogie Nights are amplified in Anderson's other movies.
Of course, this is just how I see it, which probably has as more to do with my temperament than Anderson's. I have heard the criticisms of the Coen Brothers -- rampant misanthropy, too rigid storyboarding -- and the criticisms are fair. But, rightly or wrongly, I like understated movie emotions and clever camerawork. When emotions do bubble up in a Coens movie, it feels more real to me. How often do people really cry, wail and holler like they do in a PT Anderson movie anyway?
I think the Coen Brothers are like a more humorous Kubrick, Paul Thomas Anderson more like, say, Douglas Sirk.
Panatronic Freud The Master definitely breaks this convention you find in his work. The last shot is hauntingly beautiful.
He just lost another 2, 8 time oscar nominee Paul Thomas Anderson.
I'm from the future and he hasn't won an Oscar yet
You can tell they didn't give a shit.
No, its that they love making films and all, they just don't care much for being famous, probably as a result of being slightly introvert. Woody Harrelson is the same way in interviews but he's a nice guy
Ross Malone I know that but when they received the award they seemed less than excited.
+happyhellday3 They're pretty humble dudes, I think they did care and appreciate everything. They just don't consider it the most important thing in the world like a lot of winners seem to.
+Dylan Burgess Which shows they have actual perspective.
Brendan Taylor
Yup. Which of course shows in their films too.
This was a strong lineup: , Atonement, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, There Will Be Blood, and No Country for Old Men. Quite a strong list! 👌🏼
Don't forget Away from Her.
@Diego Pisfil My nominees
Into the Wild
Atonement
There Will Be Blood
Ratatouille
*NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN [WINNER]*
Sale Darius Petru Zodiac should have nominated instead of ratatouille.
@@ronaldmcdonald2817 yeah rat should of been in and animated category,Fincher and PTA are long overdue for an oscar
I'm here solely for James McAvoy, he's brilliant and that is a fact!

Yes we're lovers, and that is that
2007 and specially 2008 were amazing years for movies.
2:12 walking with style
One of the best films ever made period.
ethan coen's reaction is my favorite
2007 was a perfect year for films
I think everyone who thinks There Will Be Blood should have won are blinded by the performance of DDL. It's an amazing movie, no doubt, but there's literally not a flaw in No Country's script. It's truly the perfect movie.
John Smisek wtf are you talking about. No Country For Old Men has NO story. There Will Be Blood is a metaphor for capitalism and religion which will stand the test of time. I remember nearly every single line in that movie from all of the actors not only DDL.
The Power of Fire 🤔 no story? Da fuq?
Yeah talk about TWWB having metaphors in the most blatant way possible(not a flaw but still) when No Country is more than metaphorical; it is spiritual.
@@WoWReforged No Country has a very loose story. What's wrong with that? In what way is that a genuine criticism? They're both good films, but just because something is a metaphor doesn't automatically make it better than something else
not having a flaw doesnt mean it has strengths.
i love how these two can make such great movies. Inspiration at it's best!
God they walk up to that podium like they’re gonna kill someone
I love how these guys aren't concerned with publicity or interviews or anything like that, they just make the movies they wanna make and watch the money roll in while living with their families
I've never heard of anyone in show business who has had something negative to say about them
Never has PTA so deserved an Oscar.
As much as I love P.T Anderson, I think the Coens deserved it that year.
That year was the Coen's year, but PTA will eventually have his.
The Coens are already the best duo Hollywood has ever seen, and No Country for Old Men was the best picture of the year.
But darn it this was Paul Thomas Anderson's Oscar.
1. No Country For Old Men
2. There Will Be Blood
3. Atonement
4. Away From Her
5. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
No Country for Old Men made poetic use of the little dialogue they had 🏆
Cool seeing Jon Stewart along with James McAvoy and Josh Brolin
They're so weird lmfao
alan shelly koshy Wtf!!?
@@alanshellykoshy112 Dude are you ok?
Empire Films
They’re tanks
They are great
@@user-lx7sg8ks7b what did he write
No Country for Old Men had great screenplay than other film. Because I know all.
jwelch5742 HAHAHA this is easily in the Top 10 best CZcams comments I've ever read
kevinsmellls I'm glad that you liked my comment. I like winners because they study and work hard on their talent.
Cable and Professor X presenting oscar
James McAvoy's accent
I first saw the video where they both win the Best Director Oscar. Ethan says he has nothing more to add apart from what he said earlier. This is the earlier video, and here too, he says nothing. Such a cute awkward man!
People can debate the best picture all they want, but PTA clearly deserved this award. There Will Be Blood is almost an original screenplay, where No Country is a near carbon copy of the book.
That’s why it’s called “Best Adapted Screenplay” dude.
@@joshuajthemovieandanimeguy8253 "Best Screenplay Based on Materials Previously Produced or Published." Again, people can debate best picture, that depends on much more than the screenplay. What I'm saying is that both screenplays are excellent, but PTA's contribution to the screenplay for TWBB was greater than the Coens' contribution to the screenplay for No Country for Old Men, which barely strays from the book by McCarthy.
Nobody is here for James McAvoy?
i am
I am
I am.
I am
This was a great year for movies!
Battle of the greats: PTA vs Coen Brothers, Masters of Cinema, I love them.
02:22 that little laugh was for PTA!
Paul Thomas Anderson :(
2007 was stacked
I guess
No Country for Old Men is an instant classic. No doubt that the Coens are going to be seen as the greatest film making duo of all time.
But dang it this was Paul Thomas Anderson's Oscar!
Only time Thanos and Xavier will be on screen together 😕
Or Cable??🤔
Basically Young Agent K and Young Professor Xavier presenting the award.
Josh brolin 😍

@@joshuajthemovieandanimeguy8253 too much?
@@emiliobello2538 I can see The Diving Bell and The Butterfly, Into the Wild, and Atonement, but Spider Man 3, I Am Legend, and Bridge to Terabithia more so than No Country for Old Men?
2 oscars in the same year....and yet so calm........
It would have been nice if "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" had won. That's one of my favorit movies of all time.
What a stellar list of films.
Ethan just came to see the sights and walked home with some awards.
:) Josh Brolin looks a lot like Patrick Swayze
@Diego Pisfil sometimes I think they James and Tom always should play twins in every movie 😂😂😂😂🤣
The only Oscar that won undeservedly No country for old men
Amazed Assassination of Jesse James didn't get nominated. both the Ron Hansen novel and the adaptation are incredible and very "bookish"
"Call it."
That was a good year for cinema
There Will Be Blood deserved this win.
Robbed for both directing and writing. God love ya PTA. And I looooove the Coen Brothers. But he was the deserving one.
Here's to Inherent Vice.
***** you already know! still waiting for that damn trailer though.
***** I wanna have that fucking trailer!
Mobley Hernandez Robbed for Boogie Nights too.
Peter Bauer Agreed! it didn't even get best pic or director noms.
I like telecast of the 60's and 70's of Oscars had more style and understated glitz. There were some great stories especially 1970's the Silver Age of cinema. Never will we see again.
Thanos and Professor X!
James McAvoy is anything but brooding.
PTA should have gotten screenplay, they deserved directing but not the writing award
I am guessing that you have never read NO Country For Old Men, the Coen's were VERY faithful to the novel, its almost an exact copy which is a great thing. There Will Be Blood is LOOSELY based on Oil! Its not a full adaptation.
Phreaker1997 What are you talking about, There Will Be Blood is very loosely based on Oil!, No Country is basically a exact copy of the novel
That's not the only benchmark for a good adaptation. You could say PTA did more because he built so much on the source material.
you dont know what youre talking about
Cormac Mcarthy originally wrote No Country for Old Men as a screen play, agents told him it wouldnt sell so he decided to turn it into a novel. The coens did essentially more or less nothing with the writing aspect and thats why as much as I love the film, they didnt deserve to win the writing award here and to think they barely mention Cormac.
Thanos and Proffesor X
that was basically a one note ominous tone that played for about 5 minutes, hardly something they could play for someone as they walk up on stage to accept their award
may be an unpopular opinion but out of all the oscars that twbb and no country had to compete for i think this is the one that most should have gone to the other film. twbb absolutely should have won adapted screenplay imo but that could just be because i think changing a story is cooler than just putting into a different format
(i read mccarthy’s book you can’t tell me the script wasn’t anything besides that, the movie is still great though)
The miracle is what happens between the script and the final cut.
0:24 Thanos & Charles Xavier turning on the style
Fuck off with marvel crap
I hate marvel expect Spider Man
Paul :(
Lol Josh Brolin has balls saying that to Jack Nicholson.
They don't give a fuck. These two are hilarious.
Atonement and No Country For Old Men should'be won tied
Away from her is a Gem♥️
James McAvoy.... yummy! :o)
It makes me laugh so hard how little they care
OOMMMG!!! I love the coen brothers, but P.T.A. should have won... :( he deserved it way more
Thanos and Professor X
Or Cable.
only in the credit and credit is not part of the movie and story. its credit.
While they was going to the stage, the speaker said that they previously won an award, as original screenplay, for Fargo. Their adapted screenplay award for No Country For Old Man should have been their first award ever. Because the best original screenplay of 1996 was Jerry Maguire.
Nicholson coolest guy around
I think Sarah Polley deserved the Oscar...
We, uh... thank you very much.
There wasn't any music in the film so it was probably something else.
For me this list should have been:
No Country for Old Men
There Will be Blood
Away From Her
Zodiac
Gone Baby Gone
What's your problem with Atonement
@@HAL-vm3wn Mediocrity
The audience really wanted There Will Be Blood to win, it seemed
Great Man Theory is much more popular.
Very cool. :)
Is that true? Source?
There was no music throughout the whole film. (Not counting the end credits)
Does anyone know the song that plays once they win?
It seems like an orchestral version of the No Country for Old Men theme (the one that plays in the credits).
***** oh it totally is! Thanks!
There will be blood should have won. but no country for old man still had a great screenplay.
0:59
I like the profile picture you have of I love someone with autism. Should a movie based on a novel about autism win Best Adapted Screenplay
@jimmypopper Their not ungrateful they just don't care and it's funny
Thanos and Xavier
Or Cable.
sucks that There Will Be Blood had to compete against an equally incredible movie, they both truly deserved every award they got nominated for, like it's the one situation where a tie would be the best outcome
There will be Blood was fucking looonnngggg and tedious. Way too slow paced.
@@21Screenyoure an absolute dumbass
❤
PTA got robbed.
+landondonovanify always
SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Shut the fuck up Donny
Although I believe There Will Be Blood was the true best picture of 2007, I will admit that No Country for Old Men had the better writing.
There will be blood should have won
Cable and Charles Xavier
Thanos and Prof X
Also Cable.
Coen Brothers hardly changed a word from novel,while PTA basically wrote everything and had nothing to do with the novel.This is bullshit.
okay,okay. No Country for Old Men´s Script is phenomenal,but come on...There will be Blood deserved it.
Diego Pisfil is there Information about his new feature ?
This is why awards shows make no sense when I comes to art, No Country and TWBB?!
there will be blood was about the insanity of one character, great... no country was a complete experience
hhahaha ethan coen nice
the 2 'DANIELs' will FLAME-OUT even SOONER than the 2 'COENs'!
NO talent killed them BOTH!!
They're kinda weird.
PTA robbed
Presenters are not funny
