Kathryn Bigelow is a wonderful director. After watching classics like Point Break, Near Dark and K-19: The Widowmaker, there is no doubt this woman, like her Ex. Jimmy Cameron, can turn anything to gold. I didn't really like The Hurt Locker, but I will admit its pretty cool seeing a Female Director win an Oscar.
Congrats Kathy. Keep up the great work and continue to make great films.
I think it was kind of rude for Barbara to say, "Well the time has come". Kathryn deserved that award, no doubt, but I don't think she should have stomped out all of the other competition with that line before announcing Kathryn as the winner. That was heartless.
@fretandstrut An orchestral version of the song "The Way We Were", sung by Barbra Streisand, from the original soundtrack of Sidney Pollack's "The Way We Were", starring Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford.
Just make a war film with the USA being the savior of the world that already guarantees a three statuettes, as the old men of the academy melt. Tarantio infinitely superior to Inglourious Basterds, but note that it was up to third on the list because they were yet to get fit James Cameron with his blue aliens as a second option. This award is for me not to reference anything that is not is not the force of politics in Hollywood.
Basta fazer um filme de guerra com os USA sendo o salvador do mundo que já se garante umas três estatuetas, pois os velhotes da academia se derretem. Tarantio infinitamente superior com Bastardos Inglorios, mas observem que ele era, no máximo, o terceiro da lista pois ainda iam conseguir encaixar James Cameron com seus aliens azuis como segunda opção. Esta premiação pra mim não é referência de nada que não não seja a força da politicagem em Holywood.
Isn't it odd how she said that it could be a woman for the first time like it was the most exciting thing in history, but the fact that it could be an african american was just minor news! I'm not sexist (Bigelow was absolutely deserving in her win), and I don't think that Barbara Streisand is racist, but I certainly think it shows something about hollywood's current mindset.
It took over 82 years for this moment to happen. I hope it doesn't take another 82 years for another woman to come along and have this accomplishment happen again.
@JadenJewel18 Not really 82 years, Woman have only been Directing for about 20 years sweetie,so its only been by Men,so really its only taken 20 years to happen......
@culturevulture123 not just a woman but a woman who has directed a great, legitimate war film, its been a long time since any man has done thst let alone a woman!
And the Oscar goes to...BARBRA STREISAND FOR YENTL, that motherfucking amazing film she made in 1983 and she was never nominated to Best Directing cause we were stupid sexists.
BARBRA STREISAND should have been the first woman to receive this award! And after her snubs (particularly in this category), the Academy knows they've done wrong by Streisand and sought to correct it by having her present the award! Lovely to see... but can't help but feel that Barbra Streisand should've won this for her truly exceptional work on both Yentl and Prince of Tides! Perfection! I hope Streisand directs again in the future and wins it for real!!!
@woshushe agreed.....inglorious bastards was far more entertaining. The hurt locker was a snooze fest, and it's a kids movie compared to the all time great war movies like saving private ryan or black hawk down.
@simcha Well done, I couldn't have said it better than you...Yes, you and I know the truth of The Academy...Streisand has earned Best Director for Prince of Tides, However, The Academy has chosen to snub her at every turn. Remember that her Academy award was shared with Katharine Hepburn. I feel for her as she presents this award...she should have been the first woman to receive an Oscar for her efforts.
Saw her speak and take questions tonight at MoMA in NY where they're having a complete retrospective of her movies. Wonderful, articulate, gracious, and one of the most strikingly beautiful women I've ever seen. If I'd encountered her 20 or 30 years ago, I might've dropped dead.
@Kfulo - you might be thinking of the Golden Globes - Streisand was the first (and is stil the only) woman to have won that award for Best Director. She hasn't been nominated for an Oscar for directing though.
Well said Brad Pitt - 'The Set is Church, Director is God and no Heretics allowed' - well now we have a Goddess in the set! Anyone knows what's her next film?
Yes, Tarentino is a good directer, but look at what Kathyryn had to work with.
Judging by the consistant dessert scenery and drab surrondings of the film location, she managed to make it an exciting and enthraling film. That takes talent.
the moment Streisand walked onto the stage, I knew Bigelow had won. Not because Streisand is a woman, but because Streisand made a comment at an Oscar telecast years ago, when the theme was "Year of the Woman", saying she looked forward to the day the Academy didn't celebrate gender, but the excellence of the work. It's as if Streisand was given a sort of comeuppance, awarding the highest achievement in directing to the woman who would win it.
@lajeteefan : I knew that too and I did want Kathryn to win because it The Hurt Locker was a really good movie, but I cannot stand Barbra at all!! She makes want to puke!!
this was such a bad presentation, when barbra streisand mentioned "for the first time a woman or a black man" she should have made a joke about barack and hilary. and when she says " well the time has come" it would have been super funny if Lee Daniels would start celebrating in his seat while he was on camera
after knowing that Barbra Streisand was going to present this award, every movie maniacs know that Kathryn's gonna win. just like Bigelow, Barbra was a very talented director. and better yet, she's a woman!
@giasthedirector Yeah, I had that same feeling. Kind of like how I knew Scorsese was going to win when Spielberg, Lucas, and Coppola came out to present.
why they didn't pick james cameron to win i mean i'm not against a women for being best director i saw the hurt locker and if it was that good she could of deserve it but the hurt locker i don't see how that movie is worthy for best picture
to those of you who do not comprehend the significance of barbra's presentation - her film, the prince of tides, was nominated for a mulititude of oscars, including best picture, but babs was not recognized even by a nomination for best director. the snub was apparent, and the recognition afforded babs by given the honor of this presentation was the very least the academy could do for their egregious snob of years ago. i believe that both streisand and bigelow were truly honored by the moment.
This was the best moment of the Oscars for me, personally. I was unsure whether I was cheering for the inspiration Kathryn Bigelow gives us all or just the look on James Cameron's face. :D
I did a research paper on Kathryn and I just have to say that this award has been waiting for her for years. It will be Tarantinos Time some other year.
Are you kidding me... "the first time a woman is nominated she wins it"... actually she was the fourth woman to be nominated, the first to win. Get you facts right. This is what women have to put up with every day... bull from jealous men
Ah btw, to all people who thinks that Tarantino should have won. Yes he should have one for Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction. But Inglourious Basterds was his worst film so no He didn't deserved to win something that night.
Having Barbra Streisand present was a dead give away that Bigelow was winning. Just like if they would have had Spike Lee present, it would have been blatantly obvious that Lee Daniels ways winning. Btw, if they really wanted to make a statement, they would have went with Daniels, seeing as he is gay as well as black.
that was probably the most powerful directors category in a while. except for andy richter everyone made a spectacular movie. beating the best and her ex is probably the best fucking feeling in the world.
This is why the oscars are a joke. I'm not being sexist but really? Just because a women gets nominated for like the first time means they should win it? Ridiculous, You'll get that oscar one day Tarantino!
@ishotulol921 katheryn bigelow was not the first woman to get nominated, sofia coppola was the first american to get nominated. and there were two women of foreign descent to get the nomination before that.
@ishotulol921 she was actually the forth nominated. most recent being jane campion and sofia coppola. but i do agree streisand was kinda biased about it being a woman.
good on cameron, though. he's a good sport and glad 2 see he's not bitter about his ex and is actually happy 4 her
@ishotulol921 This was actually only the 4th time a woman had ever been nominated for Directing. In 82 years. It's a ridiculous statistic, and she absolutely deserved this.
@ishotulol921 It was not the first time, my friend, the very Barbra Streisand was herself nominated at least two times. And, I dont know if you'll agree with me, but I think Tarantino is not a Oscary director, just like Tim Burton, who I guess was never nominated...
@chiamaligna Hahaha... QT would have had motormouthed away for his exceptence speech without Roger Avary ahving to monitor him. He would have loved it. The look on his face was one of resignation, that he didn't have a snowball's chance in hell to win. It would have been more interesting if he did. I liked The Hurt Locker, so I didn't think he was robbed. Re James Cameron - was relieved not to endure seeing him punch the air and say "I'm on top of the world".
Cameron is great but his Avatar crap is like a fuckin Disney movie without Donald Duck! So he doesn't deserved to win that. It's Either Bigelow or Tarantino.
@peenabutta Nope. I'm guessing she went, "Hey if I can't be the first female directing Oscar winner, I'll be the one to present it to the first female directing Oscar winner!"
Love Barbra!!!

why is james cameron pretending like "yeah, i'm really happy about kathryn, i actually couldn't be happier!" it's just pathetic.

What a great speech. How admirable it was to humbly give credit to all of those people she worked with.

As much as liked The Basterds ,and Tarantino's works as a whole, i didn't think it was Oscar material

Hurt Locker is a truly fantastic film. Bigelow has made great films like Point Break, Near Dark (totally underrated vampfire film) etc.
Sorry for Tarintino who was also one of the best directors we've got, but she did deserve it!!

that was probably the most powerful directors category in a while. except for andy richter everyone made a spectacular movie. beating the best and her ex is probably the best fucking feeling in the world.

This is why the oscars are a joke. I'm not being sexist but really? Just because a women gets nominated for like the first time means they should win it? Ridiculous, You'll get that oscar one day Tarantino!

@ishotulol921 katheryn bigelow was not the first woman to get nominated, sofia coppola was the first american to get nominated. and there were two women of foreign descent to get the nomination before that.

@ishotulol921 Sofia Coppola got nominated once and didnt win and it was the 1st time a woman was nominated for best director
LuisRamirez666 11 months ago
@ishotulol921 1. Tarantino has an Oscar (which he won for co-writing Pulp Fiction)
2. Bigelow wasn't the first female nominee for Best Director

@ishotulol921 "I'm not being sexist but..." Yes, your being sexist. You said it right with that statement.

@ishotulol921 she was actually the forth nominated. most recent being jane campion and sofia coppola. but i do agree streisand was kinda biased about it being a woman.
good on cameron, though. he's a good sport and glad 2 see he's not bitter about his ex and is actually happy 4 her

@ishotulol921 It wasn't the first time that a woman was nominated. Sofia Coppola was nominated in 2004 for Lost in Translation.

@ishotulol921 This was actually only the 4th time a woman had ever been nominated for Directing. In 82 years. It's a ridiculous statistic, and she absolutely deserved this.

@ishotulol921 This was the fourth time a woman was nominated.
I found it sexist when the band played "I am Woman" as she left with the Oscar... Pathetic. Like she's part of a movement or so.

@ishotulol921 It was not the first time, my friend, the very Barbra Streisand was herself nominated at least two times. And, I dont know if you'll agree with me, but I think Tarantino is not a Oscary director, just like Tim Burton, who I guess was never nominated...

@chiamaligna Hahaha... QT would have had motormouthed away for his exceptence speech without Roger Avary ahving to monitor him. He would have loved it. The look on his face was one of resignation, that he didn't have a snowball's chance in hell to win. It would have been more interesting if he did. I liked The Hurt Locker, so I didn't think he was robbed. Re James Cameron - was relieved not to endure seeing him punch the air and say "I'm on top of the world".

Cameron is great but his Avatar crap is like a fuckin Disney movie without Donald Duck! So he doesn't deserved to win that. It's Either Bigelow or Tarantino.

how's it fair that the actor/actress nominees get these heartfelt speeches and then the directors get little dvd extra-like speeches.

@peenabutta Nope. I'm guessing she went, "Hey if I can't be the first female directing Oscar winner, I'll be the one to present it to the first female directing Oscar winner!"
