Posted on 03/08/2010
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Kathryn Bigelow has won the best-director Academy Award for her Iraq War thriller "The Hurt Locker." Bigelow is the first woman in the 82-year history of the Oscars to earn Hollywood's top prize for filmmakers. Among those Bigelow beat are ex-husband James Cameron, the best-director winner for 1997's "Titanic" who was nominated this time for his sci-fi spectacle "Avatar." Bigelow and Cameron were married from 1989-91.
