cList Of Oscar Nominees And Winners 2010
James Cameron must have never in his wildest nightmare thought that he would have to fight it out with his ex-wife, Kathryn Bigelow in anything other than the court. But here it was… beaten and knocked out by his own ex-wife. Avatar finally managed only 3 Oscar Awards as compared to Kathryn Bigelow’s film, The Hurt Locker, which bagged 6 statuettes in all at The Academy Awards 2010. This was also the first time ever in the history of the Oscars that a woman director walked away with the best director honor. Here’s what she said in her winning speech.
Bigelow said: "I hope I'm the first of many, and of course, I'd love to just think of myself as a filmmaker. And I long for the day when that modifier can be a moot point. But I'm very grateful if I can inspire some young, intrepid, tenacious male or female filmmaker and have them feel that the impossible is possible, and never give up on your dream."
Wee, there were many more nominations and winners on Oscar’s night.
