Looks like a major upset at the Oscars for Avatar, with The Hurt Locker walking away with the best picture and best director awards. Jeff Bridges and Sandra Bullock won as many anticipated. The latter apparently being the first person to win an Oscar and a Razzie in the same year. It also seems that Kathryn Bigelow is the first woman to win the best director prize!

Christoph Waltz won an award for best supporting actor for the brilliant portrayal of a Jew-hunting Nazi in Inglorious Basterds.

The Hurt Locker did not even play in theaters here, I think. Hmmm maybe after this win, things will change.
