The Hurt Locker wins the big at the 2010 Academy Awards with a total of six Oscars including best Best Picture and for the first time by a female, Best Director. The films that had the seemed to have the best chances were The Hurt Locker and Avatar, so there was really no big surprises. I was shocked that Sandra Bullock got Best Actress, to be fair I haven’t seen The Blind Side, however I feel like Gabourey Sidibe should have gotten it for Precious.
