Ya think Javier Bardem was in a good mood Sunday night? The No Country for Old Men Best Supporting Actor Oscar winner had an emotional entrance at the Miramax Oscars after-party – walking into the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood with the Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want" playing.
