HOLLYWOOD, CA — Summit Entertainment's independent Iraq war drama "The Hurt Locker" toppled the competiton, including box-office behemoth and visual effects wonder "Avatar," to win a grand total of 6 Oscars, including Best Picture. Having made less than $15 million at the box office so far, "The Hurt Locker" is the lowest grossing film in modern day history to win the top prize. Its win for Best Director for Kathryn Bigelow was a historic first, representing the first time in Oscar history that a woman director had ever received the honor. The low-budget drama also won for original screenplay, film editing, sound editing and sound mixing. "Avatar," which had been its main competition leading into the awards, had to settle for wins in visual effects, cinematography and art direction. The rest of the evening contained no real surprises with all the actor statuettes going to the frontrunners in the race: Sandra Bullock for "The Blind Side" and Jeff Bridges for "Crazy Heart," and in the supporting categories: Christoph Waltz for "Inglourious Basterds," and Mo'Nique for "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire."
