Martin Scorsese Masterclass in Cannes

 

 

 

The Hurt Locker wins 6 Oscars

"The Hurt Locker" (the Iraq War drama) won best picture and five other prizes at the Academy Awards, including best director for Kathryn Bigelow.
Bigelow is the first woman in the Oscars history to receive Best Director award.
"It's the moment of a lifetime," she said. "I hope I'm the first of many," she said afterward backstage.
"The Hurt Locker" won best picture in a year where there were 10 nominees instead of the usual five - an effort to include more commercial, popular movies in the mix.  The historical Box Office sucess of Avatar did not impress the members too much who gave the film a 3 technical awards.
For once the predictors got it quite right (we were among those who predicted the success of The Hurt Locker against Avatar, but does that film needs oscars to build Box Office?)
