Q: It's an open secret that the Coen brothers edit their own movies, but under the pseudonym Roderick Jaynes. Who, then, was the bespectacled old coot in the photo shown during the rundown of the Achievement in Film Editing nominees?

A: A Dust Bowl-era farmer the wily Coens found in a book. The brothers are so committed to the ruse that if Jaynes had won this category, they would not have accepted on his behalf.
