While anyone who may have bet on the BAFTA winners as possible Oscar-nabbers will attest, there were few surprises at the 82nd Academy Awards on Sunday 7th March, though the acting gongs had a distinctly American flavour. Once again Kathryn Bigelow's superb war drama The Hurt Locker triumphed over its competition and took home statuettes for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay among its six Oscar Haul. Jeff Bridges was finally honoured--having been previously nominated a staggering five times--for his performance in Crazy Heart, and Sandra Bullock was recognised for her performance in The Blind Side.
