The Hurt Locker grabbed the spotlight this year with an incredible six wins, including the Best Picture and Best Direction; Kathryn Bigelow created history by becoming the first woman to win an Oscar in the Best Direction category.
This one is even more memorable for her considering the fact that James Cameron, her ex-husband was also in the race for the same award - with a movie that's already been over-hyped and over-praised around the world. Good for you, Kathryn! ;-)
Sandra Bullock won the Oscar for Best Actress - am I happy for her! I've always admired her, from Speed to Miss Congeniality to Two Weeks Notice. Avatar hogged three Oscars - I'm darn happy it didn't go on to win the Best Picture award  - I somehow felt the movie was grossly overrated.
The win that excited me the most was for the animated movie, Up - I watched this movie a few days ago, and it really pierced my heart. Â That it also won an Oscar for Best Music is not surprising, too; it's soundtrack moved me to tears.
So, fellows, these are the wins that were of interest to me - for a full list of Oscar 2010 winners, go here.
