The small independent war drama "The Hurt Locker" won six Academy Awards on Sunday night, including best picture and director for Kathryn Bigelow, marking the first time a woman has taken home such an honor. The film, which has grossed less than $15 million, beat out the biggest box-office film ever. James Cameron's sci-fi epic "Avatar." “There’s no other way to describe this, it’s the moment of a lifetime.” said a tremulous Bigelow, upon receiving the directing Oscar at the 82nd annual Academy Awards at the Kodak Theatre. She dedicated the award to the men and women in the military who risked their lives. Moments earlier, a standing ovation greeted Sandra Bullock as she clutched her first best actress Oscar, for "The Blind Side." "Did I really earn this or did I just wear you all down?" said Bullock, who won for playing a Southern wife and mother who takes in a homeless African-American teenage boy and changes his life forever.
