no country for old men.jpgThe Coen brothers are putting Apple and Final Cut Pro back on the Hollywood map—in a positive way this time.

The brothers, who created the four-oscar-winning film “No Country for Old Men” have discussed the importance of Apple hardware and software during the editing of their film.

“They [Apple] made it really easy for us — we cut now much the same way we cut on film [using Final Cut Pro]. It’s hugely faster,” said Ethan Coen.

Whatever they did with Final Cut Pro, it worked, as they won Best Picture of the Year, among a number of other awards. This is an especially big deal since, according to Macworld, this is the first movie edited with an entirely digital workflow on a Mac to win the Oscar.

At some point I corrected Dan over on iPhone Central. He fixed the post and deleted my comment. Feel free to adopt that policy here (especially for an anonymous comment). I see no reason to keep invalidated comments.
