The Hurt Locker won 6 prizes at last night's BAFTA ceremony. The war drama nearly shut out Avatar which only took home 2 of its 8 nominated prizes for Production Design and Visual Effects. With every awards show giving the top prize to a different film (Golden Globes: Avatar, BAFTA: Hurt Locker, SAG Awards: Inglourious Basterds), and with 10 films nominated for Best Picture Oscar, this year's Academy Awards ceremony might just be a surprise.
The two prizes that are guaranteed are in the supporting actor categories. Both Mo'Nique (for Precious) and Christoph Waltz (for Inglourious Basterds) tripled their awards last night (both also won SAG and Golden Globes).
The biggest surprises of last night were in the two best actor categories. Colin Firth won the top prize for his work in A Single Man and Carey Mulligan won for An Education. Neither are expected to repeat this win at the Oscars, but we shall see...
WEZ SEZ: The Hurt Locker deserves Best Picture Oscar. See it. Now.
