"The Hurt Locker" captured best picture at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards on Sunday. The Summit release about an Army bomb disposal unit took home six Oscars, including a historic best director Oscar for director Kathryn Bigelow, the first woman ever to win in that category.
With just under $15 million in domestic grosses as of Sunday, "The Hurt Locker," became the lowest-grossing film to win best picture in modern history.
"Locker" won over not only Fox's "Avatar," the highest-grossing film of all time, but also over box office hits including Warner Bros.' "The Blind Side," Sony's "District 9," the Weinstein Co.'s "Inglourious Basterds" and Disney/Pixar's "Up," as well as Lionsgate’s "Precious," Paramount ‘s "Up in the Air," Sony Classics’ "An Education" and Focus’ "A Serious Man."
Saw the movie few weeks ago, and yes, it is worth to view... Bit rough on the edges end some pretty raw scenarios from bombing sites, but worth it.
