Diablo Cody: From Stripper to Oscar Winner

Photo of Diablo Cody

Former exotic dancer turned screenwriter Diablo Cody won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for Juno She didn't succumb to the entreaties of mainstream stylists, preferring to stick with her own original look, complete with pin-up girl tattoo and an animal print gown.

Looking much less exotic than Ms. Cody, the Coen brothers (Ethan and Joel) won Best Adapted Screenplay for No Country for Old Men. No Country for Old Men also won Best Picture. Overall, the Oscars had a dull feel to them. Jon Stewart was funny, but no one was that excited about the nominated films. The ratings -- as expected -- were the lowest in the show's history.
