\"\"<\/a>Katherine Bigelow became the first woman in the 82 year history of the Academy Awards last night earning the Best Director award, winning for her Iraq war drama The Hurt Locker<\/strong>. It was the culmination of an evening of dominance for the film, which won a total of six awards in the nine categories it was nominated in. In addition to Best Director, The Hurt Locker<\/strong> also won Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Film Editing, Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing.<\/p>\n

With its six wins, The Hurt Locker<\/strong> effectively shut out director James Cameron\u2019s science-fiction blockbuster Avatar<\/strong>, which had also received nine nominations including Best Director and Picture. However, it would only win awards for Best Cinematography and Visual Effects. Many Oscar watchers were of the opinion that Avatar <\/strong>would beat out Hurt Locker<\/strong> for Best Picture on the strength of the technical achievements Cameron developed in order to make the film.<\/p>\n

But outside of the Avatar <\/strong>shutout, the evening contained very few surprises. The awards show started off with Christoph Waltz winning Best Supporting Actor for his work as a cunning Nazi officer in Quentin Tarantino\u2019s Inglorious Basterds<\/strong>. It would be that film\u2019s only win despite eight nominations including Best Original Screenplay, Best Director and Best Picture.
