[p=21, 2, left]Yet it was Bigelow's The Hurt Locker that [b]stole the show[/b], winning six awards including best picture, as opposed to Cameron's Avatar, which won just three.[/p][p=21, 2, left]It was also, significantly, the first time a woman had won the best director award. Bigelow, however, is [b]reluctant[/b] to be referred to as a 'female director', and made no reference to her [b]gender[/b] in her Oscars [b]acceptance speech[/b].[/p][p=21, 2, left]"I'd love to think of myself as a filmmaker, and I long for the day when a[b]modifier[/b] can be a [b]moot point[/b]," she said.[/p][p=21, 2, left]"But I'm ever grateful if I can inspire some young, [b]intrepid[/b], [b]tenacious[/b]male or female filmmaker and have them feel that the impossible is possible and never give up on your dream."[/p][p=21, 2, left]Nonetheless, her victory does [b]highlight[/b] the position of women in cinema. At present only around 10% of films in the UK and 7% of Hollywood films are directed by women. Many hope Bigelow's win will help change this.[/p][p=21, 2, left]So, did James Cameron [b]begrudge[/b] his ex-wife landing the top honours? Speaking on the red carpet ahead of the ceremony, he said:[/p][p=21, 2, left]"I've [b]extolled her virtues[/b] to the world and supported her as a filmmaker. I'd be [b]tremendously proud[/b] if she won."[/p][/size][/font][/color]
