It was a historic victory for Kathryn Bigelow when she won the Oscar for Best Director at Sunday's Academy Awards. Bigelow is the first woman ever to win an Oscar in that category.
Despite the fact that her war film, "The Hurt Locker," was one of the lowest-grossing films ever nominated, she beat out Quentin Tarantino ("Inglorious Basterds"), Lee Daniels ("Precious"), Jason Reitman ("Up In The Air") and perhaps the most unusual rival, her ex-husband James Cameron, nominated for the sci-fi epic "Avatar."
