While accepting the award for Best Director at the 80th Academy Awards , Joel Coen said that " Ethan and I have been making stories with movie cameras since we were kids " , recalling a Super 8 film they made titled " Henry Kissinger : Man on the Go " . " Honestly , " he said , " what we do now does n't feel that much different from what we were doing then . We 're very thankful to all of you out there for continuing to let us play in our corner of the sandbox . " It was only the second time in Oscar history that two individuals shared the directing honor ( Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins were the first , winning for 1961 's '' West Side Story '' )
