The intense war drama about U.S. bomb diffusers in Iraq won six Oscars in total, including Best Picture and Best Director for Kathryn Bigelow.

Bigelow, the first woman to ever win in the directing category, beat out the four other nominees, including her ex-husband James Cameron, who was the other frontrunner for his technical triumph "Avatar."
