The Hurt Locker is the story about three officers in Iraq who work in EOD.
The 2009 Academy Awards marked a very big change. The number of Best Pictures that were allowed to be nominated from five movies to Ten. The last time that many movies were allowed to be nominated was in 1943. Summit Entertainment took this movie ran with it! It won a total of six Academy Awards and making history for Kathryn Bigelow to be the only female director to win the Best Director Award. The Hurt Locker took home the biggest honor that night over: 20th Century Fox's Avatar; Warner Brother's The Blind Side; Tristar's District 9; Sony Pictures' An Education; The Weinstein Company's Inglorious Bastards; Lionsgate's Precious; Focus Features' A Serious Man; Disney's Up; and Paramount's Up in the Air.
I am sorry to say that I could not get into this movie. I understood why it was an important movie and why the story needed to be told but I could not for the life of me get myself interested. Honestly, I am made after making the list of movie that it beat out to win and wonder how in the world this movie was better than The Blind Side, Avatar, or Up. Chalk this one up to "I do not know why this movie won".
