That said, we appear to be back in old form with many of the same opinions on the 2007 crop of films ( The Mist being the one big exception). And our picks weren't way off, either. Here, them, our picks and the results for the 80th Academy Awards: BEST ACTOR Chuck & James: Daniel Day Lewis, There Will Be Blood (winner) BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR Chuck & James: Javier Bardem, No Country for Old Men (winner) BEST ACTRESS Chuck: & James: Ellen Page, Juno Winner: Marion Cotillard , Le Vie en Rose BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS Chuck & James: Tilda Swenton, Michael Clayton (winner) BEST SCORE Chuck: Atonement (winner) James: 3:10 to Yuma BEST EDITING Chuck & James: Roderick Jaynes, No Country for Old Men Note: Roderick Jaynes is a pseudonym for Joel and Ethan Coen Winner: The Bourne Ultimatum BEST ART DIRECTION Chuck & James: Sweeny
