Personal Quote:

The awards put a movie on people's radars. Festivals are good, even though the idea of putting movies in competitions -- this one is the best this, that one is the best that -- is ridiculous. See more »

Trivia:

Ranked #88 in Premiere's 2003 annual Power 100 List with brother Joel Coen. They had been ranked #92 in 2002. See more »

Trademark:

The Coens frequently focus on round spinning objects: hat in Miller's Crossing, bowling balls and tumble-weed in The Big Lebowski, hair pomade tins in O Brother, Where Art Thou?, UFO and a car wheel in The Man Who Wasn't There ...or the fans in Blood Simple.. See more »
