'The Hurt Locker', a gritty Iraq war drama, swept the Oscars this year by winning six trophies with Kathryn Bigelow creating history by becoming the first woman director to win an Academy Award.
The USD 16 million film about the travails of a US bomb disposal squad trounced James Cameron's 'Avatar' to win the Best Film, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Editing, Sound Mixing and Sound Editing trophies. It was nominated in nine categories along with the sci-fi blockbuster.
'Avatar', which was in a neck-and-neck race with 'The Hurt Locker', won three golden statuettes --for Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction and Visual Effects.
"It is a moment of lifetime. I am so honoured to be sitting in this extraordinary company of powerful filmmakers, who have inspired me. I would not be standing here but for Boal (writer) and the extraordinary cast and the technicians.
