HOLLYWOOD -- First time was a charm for "No Country for Old Men's" Scott Rudin. The longtime producer made his debut appearance at a Producers Guild of America ceremony Feb. 2 at the Beverly Hilton, and wound up taking home the top prize.

Rudin was joined in the winner's circle by fellow "Country" producers Ethan and Joel Coen, the latter weighing in on the much-publicized matter of awards-show heckling.

"Is Sean Young here?" he joked, referring to the actress who famously harangued helmer Julian Schnabel from the audience during the previous week's DGA Awards and was promptly booted.

As for Schnabel, he has no hard feelings toward the thesp. "I should pay her to follow me around," he said. "It wasn't fair that they threw her out. They shouldn't have done that."
