The Hurt Locker Wins Best Picture & Kathryn Bigelow Wins Best Director
Mar 8, 2010 in Kathryn Bigelow
Kathryn Bigelow, director of The Hurt Locker, became the first women in the history of the Oscars to receive the Best Director Oscar. Not only that, but The Hurt Locker won Best Picture, the small, tiny, independent war film on a shoestring budget slayed the enormous Avatar juggernaut. Bigelow seemed overwhelmed, but gracious, acknowledging “The moment of the lifetime.” Bigelow thanked the screenwriter first, then the cast. She thanked everyone involved with producing and distributing the film, then she dedicated the award to the men and women serving overseas in the military. She reiterated the same thing when she and her team won Best Picture.
