`The Hurt Locker' wins six awards, including best picture, at predictable Oscars

[kazuya]

On a night when so many changes were intended to shake up the Oscar ceremony, the winners themselves were pretty predictable, with "The Hurt Locker" taking six awards including best picture."Hurt Locker" director Kathryn Bigelow won the top directing honor for her intimate Iraq war drama, making her the first woman to take the prize — though as she's often said, she likes to think of herself as a filmmaker, period.

"I hope I'm the first of many," she said afterward backstage. "I long for the day when that modifier can be a moot point."

But as fellow director Barbra Streisand put it in announcing Bigelow's victory, "Well, the time has come."

Agreed .

It's been the case most of the time. The movie which is loved by the masses never gets selected :( . I fail to understand the logic behind it.

Logic is simple oscars = politics.

red necks supporting whats close to home. Simply a grab for sympathy.

Avatar should have won hands down!

i am amazed about movie,story and that world,not 3d effect and you can clearly see that stupid other side (marines and search for power) in movie and in real world.

in this war movies in Iraq,Afghanistan.. they present marines like some cool guys on a cool mission for the safe of a human kind so now every stupid kid thinks when he goes to marines he will be so cool and fight some so called terrorist that threaten people :pukey:
