OK, I can't really take issue with the Coen Brothers winning anything, because they kick ass. I still haven't seen No Country, but you can bet I will the day it's release on DVD. When I look at their body of work, many of my favorites were written and/or directed by them, including Big Lebowski, O Brother, Fargo and Intolerable Cruelty. They deserve all the recognition they can get.

I think Juno won where it really counted, with best screenplay. While certainly there is a lot of pressure for directors to interpret the words on the page to be something special, I'm a dialog nerd and I like to write, so I think that the writer needs to be recognized. And frankly, if a relative unknown sex columnist wins, even better.

For the writers, indeed.
