Sophia Coppola
Kathryn Bigelow nominated for Best Director Academy Award
By Superheidi on February 3rd, 2010
Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker, in an extreme twist of sweet sweet irony, is up against ex-husband James Cameron and his film Avatar for Best Director at the 2010 Academy Awards, it was announced today. This is the 4th time a woman has been nominated for Best Director (the last time was in 2004 with Sophia Coppola for Lost in Translation) and frankly, it might be the first time a woman ever wins. I can't think of any woman who deserves it more or a film that stands out like Bigelow's does this year.
The Hurt Locker has 9 Academy Awards nominations including Best Picture, Actor, Director, Screenplay, Cinematography, Sound Mixing, Sound Editing, Score, and Editing.
