Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker started off the awards season with a win for best feature at the IFP’s Gotham Awards. The event also included a tribute to director Bigelow. We shouldn’t read too much into the win but last year’s winner Frozen River made it to the Oscar dance with two nominations (lead actress and best original screenplay.)
Since this year there are ten best picture nominees, most people are predicting that The Hurt Locker will get one. The film also won an award for bet ensemble which reflects the great work of the actors and the director. Seems that Bigelow’s road towards an Oscar nomination is still on track after last night.
Other winners include Catalina Saavedra as breakthrough actor for The Maid, and Ry Russo-Young’s second film You Won’t Miss Me which won the Best Film Not Playing at a Theater Near You. The film premiered last January at Sundance.
