Among the nominees of “No Country for Old Men,” “Atonement,” “Juno,” “Michael Clayton,” and “There Will Be Blood,” - “No Country” won both as best picture and Joel Cohen and Ethan Cohen won for best directors. It also won best writing for an adapted screenplay, along with sound editing and mixing, and Javier Bardem's took home the award for best supporting actor. The film was considered the most likely to win.
“Who Will and Should Win: The effusive love for "No Country For Old Men" continues in this category and the Academy will follow suit. This is the best movie of the year by a mile and may be the film of the decade. Anything less than a win would be a shock and a disappointment.”

That film really did have something amazing to it. “Juno” was wonderful, but something so comparatively light and quirky isn't really traditional Oscar fare for such an important category. The Cohen brothers gave the traditional thank you speeches, and certainly looked happy – but not surprised – by their win.
