We’ve been following the critics awards shows all season and every post points to a simple truth: everyone loves The Hurt Locker. It has absolutely cleaned house at almost every award show it has been a part of. The Iraq War film is welcomed into Britain with 6 wins out of its 8 nominations; completely shutting out Avatar in all of the major categories. More remarkable, Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to ever take home the best director statue.

This is likely just one more indication that the ex-wife will be taking home the big statue on March 5th before the ex-husband. It’s gossipy sure, but you gotta admit a previous husband and wife duo squaring off in the Oscars adds just a little bit of extra soap opera-esque intrigue to the night. I look forward to seeing them “square off.”

Full list of yesterday’s winners are below. Any major wrong doings?
