And the Oscar goes to....

Congratulations are in order for Javier Bardem who won the Best Supporting Actor award at Sunday's Oscar ceremony for his role in the Coen brother film, No Country for Old Men. Mr Bardem has made history by being the first ever Spaniard to win an Oscar for acting. Let's just hope that Javier doesn't succumb to the Oscar jinx that has afflicted other winners of the highly-coveted award. It has been said that winning an Oscar has actually ruined the careers of many of Hollywood's leading men and women. What ever happened to Mira Sorvino? Marisa Tomei? Holly Hunter? Perhaps Javier Bardem can take comfort in the fact that the curse mainly seems to affect women.
