THE Iraq War drama "The Hurt Locker" won best picture and five other prizes at the Academy Awards, including best director for Kathryn Bigelow, the first woman to earn Hollywood's top prize for filmmakers.
First-time winners took all four acting prizes on Sunday: Sandra Bullock as best actress for "The Blind Side;" Jeff Bridges as best actor for "Crazy Heart;" Mo'Nique as supporting actress for "Precious;" and Austria's Christoph Waltz as supporting actor for "Inglourious Basterds."
"There's no other way to describe it. It's the moment of a lifetime," Bigelow said. "It's so extraordinary to be in the company of my fellow nominees, such powerful filmmakers, who have inspired me and I have admired, some of them for decades."
Among those Bigelow and "The Hurt Locker" beat were ex-husband James Cameron and his sci-fi spectacle "Avatar."
Cameron joined a standing ovation for her, clapping vigorously and saying, "Yes, yes" after she won.
Argentina's "The Secret In Their Eyes" pulled off a surprise win for foreign-language film over higher-profile entries that included Germany's "The White Ribbon" and France's "A Prophet."
The Oscar marked a career peak for Bridges, a beloved Hollywood veteran who had been nominated four times in the previous 38 years. Bridges, who played a boozy country singer trying to clean up his act, held his Oscar aloft and thanked his late parents, actor Lloyd Bridges and poet Dorothy Bridges.
"Thank you, Mom and Dad, for turning me on to such a groovy profession," said Bridges, recalling how his mother would get her children to entertain at parties and his father would sit on the bed teaching him the basics of acting for an early part he landed on his dad's TV show "Sea Hunt."
Bullock, an industry darling who had never been nominated, won for her role as a real-life wealthy woman who takes in homeless future football star Michael Oher.
The award wraps up a wild year for Bullock, who had box-office smashes with "Blind Side" and "The Proposal" and a flop with "All About Steve."
"Did I really earn this or did I just wear you all down?" Bullock asked.
The supporting-acting winners capped remarkable years, Mo'Nique startling fans with dramatic depths previously unsuspected in the actress known for lowbrow comedy and Waltz leaping to fame with his first big Hollywood role.
"Avatar" won three Oscars, for visual effects, art direction and cinematography, beating "The Hurt Locker" for the latter. "The Hurt Locker" also won out over "Avatar" for film editing, sound editing and sound mixing.
