Joel and Ethan Coen woke up on Sunday as the favorites for the Academy Award for directing after being chosen best directors by the Directors Guild of America on Saturday night in Los Angeles for their latter-day western, âNo Country for Old Men,â Reuters reported. Since the guild began honoring directors in 1949, only six of its choices have failed to win the Oscar . âItâs nice to get the acknowledgment of critics and even audiences, but there is something about being acknowledged by people who do the same thing you do,â said Joel Coen, above right, who has joined his brother, in cowboy hat, in making films like âFargoâ and âBlood Simpleâ in the last 25 years. The last time the guild honored two men as best feature-film directors was 1961, when the winners were Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins for âWest Side Story.â âNo Country for Old Menâ has been nominated for eight Academy Awards.

Depp. Clooney. I fratelli Coen. I grandi assenti Ang Lee e Julian Schnabel. PiÃ¹ polemiche e proteste. Si avvicina la notte piÃ¹ attesa di Hollywood. Mai cosÃ¬ tanto criticata

Departing from the dark,  twisted sensibility of their feature "Twin Falls Idaho," in  which Mark and Michael Polish seemed to have channeled the Coen  brothers and a dash of David Lynch, the duo's latest effort,  "The Astronaut Farmer," is goofy, wholesome and, well, sweet.
