The Producers Guild of America has heaped another accolade on filmmaking duo Joel and Ethan Coen, awarding their crime tale No Country for Old Men the top trophy at its annual film awards.
The guild announced Saturday it has picked the Coen brothers drama —based on the Cormac McCarthy bestseller — as the year's best feature film, awarding the two brothers and Scott Rudin its Darryl F. Zanuck producer of the year trophy.

The film has also won a host of critical honours, as well as the top prizes from the Directors Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild.
No Country for Old Men is also nominated for eight Academy Awards, with each new honour it picks up adding to the expectation that the film will take the top Oscar at the ceremony on Feb. 24.
The Producers Guild also awarded honours to many other feature films and television productions, including:
- Animated film: Ratatouille
- Documentary: Sicko
- Episodic TV comedy: 30 Rock
- Episodic TV drama: The Sopranos
- Live entertainment/competition TV: The Colbert Report
- Long-form TV: Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee
- Non-fiction TV program: Planet Earth

FILM REVIEW: Men in Black 3 by Eli Glasner May. 25, 2012 1:01 AM Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are back in the action sequel Men in Black 3, a third instalment of a series now 15 years old. Though new addition Josh Brolin manages some amazing mimicry as a younger version of Jones, the story doesn't measure up to the weird and wonderful charms of the original, says film reviewer Eli Glasner.
