The Coen brothers, directors of No Country for Old Men , have won best directing honors from the Directors Guild of America. & The Coens' sense of humor extends to acceptance speeches. & Upon receiving the award, Ethan said, "Oh, we get two of them." & Joel explained they have an area of the office where they keep their awards and plaques. & They call it the ego corner. & He said when Ethan is feeling down, he spends a couple hours in the ego corner spit shining awards.

This could seal a Best Director win for the Coens at the Oscars. &
