According to a report in the Santa Fe New Mexican, four Oscar-nominated movies were filmed in New Mexico, including the best picture, No Country for Old Men. The others were 3:10 to Yuma, In the Valley of Elah and Transformers.
Did you notice by the way that 98-year-old Robert Boyle won an honorary Oscar and was escorted to the podium by two beautiful movie stars. Who says this is no country for old men?
Oh, and by the way my readers at The Albuquerque Journal, now that you’re the only newspaper in town, how about convincing your bosses to do something. Why can’t the Journal web site be as pretty as The New Mexican’s?
And another interesting tidbit about “No Country for Old Men”: The author of the novel that the film is based on, Cormac McCarthy lives in Tesuque, just outside of Santa Fe.
