STORYLINE:
The Coen brothers completed their journey from the fringes to Hollywood's mainstream on Sunday, their crime saga "No Country for Old Men" winning four Academy Awards, including best picture and director, in a ceremony that also featured a strong international flavour.
Accepting the directing honour alongside his brother Ethan, Joel Coen recalled how they had been making films since childhood, including one at the Minneapolis airport called "Henry Kissinger: Man on the Go".
"What we do now doesn't feel that much different from what we were doing then," he said.
The Coens missed out on a chance to make Oscar history - four wins for a single film - when they lost the editing prize, for which they were nominated under the pseudonym Roderick Jaynes.
But past winners for their screenplay to 1996's "Fargo", they joined an elite list of filmmakers to win three Oscars in a single night, including Francis Ford Coppola ("The Godfather Part II"), James Cameron ("Titanic") and Billy Wilder ("The Apartment").
Europeans swept the acting categories at the 80th Awards ceremony.
British actor Daniel Day-Lewis and France's Marion Cotillard were best lead actor and actress, while the supporting actor and actress prizes went to Spain's Javier Bardem and British actress Tilda Swinton.
"The Counterfeiters," the Austrian tale of a master forger forced to work for Nazis in a concentration camp, won the foreign-language Oscar.
Directed by Stefan Ruzowitzky and based on printer Adolph Burger's memoir "The Devil's Workshop", "The Counterfeiters" uses documentary-style handheld camera and quick zooms for a unique look at a little-known World War II story.
"There have been some great Austrian filmmakers working here," Ruzowitzky said in his acceptance speech, adding "most of them had to leave my country because of the Nazis, so it sort of makes sense that the first Austrian movie to win an Oscar is about the Nazis' crimes."
The only other time in the Oscars' 80-year history that all four acting winners were foreign born was 1964, when the recipients were Britons Rex
Harrison, Julie Andrews and Peter Ustinov and Russian Lila Kedrova.
Bardem won for supporting actor in "No Country", which also earned Joel and Ethan Coen the best adapted screenplay honour.
Day-Lewis won his second best-actor award for the epic "There Will Be Blood", while "La Vie En Rose" star Cotillard was a surprise winner for best actress, riding the spirit of Edith Piaf to Oscar triumph over British screen legend Julie Christie, who had been expected to win for "Away From Her".
Swinton won for her portrayal as a malevolent attorney in "Michael Clayton".
Mickey Mouse, meanwhile, gained a rival as Hollywood's favourite rodent as the rat tale "Ratatouille" was named best animated film, the second Oscar win in the category for director Brad Bird.
