JAMES Cameron's "Avatar" and Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Bastards" won the most awards at the Critics' Choice Awards on Friday.
But the top honor went to Iraq war drama "The Hurt Locker," named best picture and its director-producer Kathryn Bigelow won best director.
Accepting the best picture prize, screenwriter-producer Mark Boal said the award belongs to Bigelow "for her singular vision, for her endless inspiration and for never taking no as an answer."
Bigelow had thanked Boal when she accepted the director's honor, saying "I stand here really because of one man, and that's Mark Boal."
"It's wonderful to have this honor," she continued, "but the recognition should also go to the men and women who are in the field to this day."
"Avatar" was named best action movie and it collected a heap of technical awards, including honors for cinematography, editing, art direction, sound and visual effects.
The "Bastards" cast was the critics' pick for best ensemble. The film's villain, Christoph Waltz, was named best supporting actor and Tarantino won for his original screenplay.
"Crazy Heart" was a double winner, with Jeff Bridges claiming the best actor prize for his turn as hard-drinking country singer Bad Blake. "Up" won a pair of prizes, too: best animated feature and best score.
There were tied winners in the actress category, Meryl Streep in "Julie & Julia" and Sandra Bullock in "The Blind Side."
