'No Country': the mysterious Mr. Jaynes

The Coen brothers, Joel and Ethan, could make Oscar history this year, says the AP's David Germain. The siblings could win four awards for one movie, No Country for Old Men. And one of those awards might go to a man who wasn't there: Roderick Jaynes, the Coens' film-editing pseudonym.

There's one big question should the Coens sweep all four of their categories come Oscar night: Will the real Roderick Jaynes be there to collect his editing prize? The Coens describe their alias as a cranky geezer in his late 80s who lives in England and doesn't like to travel.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences acknowledges the Coens as quadruple nominees even though their names are not on the ballot for editing.
So who gets the trophy if Roderick Jaynes wins?
"We're going to read the name on the card," said academy spokeswoman Leslie Unger. "Who comes up remains to be seen."
