Jeff Bridges, Sandra Bullock and Kathryn Bigelow were the big winners at the 2010 Academy Awards. Kathryn Bigelow made history as the first woman to ever win an Academy Award for Best Director, for her film The Hurt Locker.

Calling the huge win “the moment of a lifetime,” Bigelow dedicated the award to “the women and men in the military who risk their lives on a daily basis in Iraq and Afghanistan and around the world.”

The gritty film also claimed the night’s sound awards, film editing and original screenplay prizes - as it collected six of the nine accolades it was nominated for.

Jeff Bridges won Best Actor for his role as a down and out singer in Crazy Heart and Sandra Bullock has picked up Best Actress for her role as a strong minded mother in The Blind Side.

Best Supporting Actress went to Mo’Nique, who had been highly favoured to win for her powerful role in the drama Precious, whilst Best Support Actor went to Christopher Waltz for his terrifying role as a Nazi in Inglorious Basterds.

Even though Avatar didn’t win any of the big gongs, the James Cameron directed film managed to win Best Cinematography (Mauro Fiore), Best Art Design (Rick Carter, Robert Stromberg and Kim Sinclair) and Best Visual Effects (Joe Letteri, Stephen Rosenbaum, Richard Baneham and Andrew R Jones).
