While Avatar took home the most awards at the BFCA’s 15th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards, none was in the top category. Avatar director James Cameron lost to ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow, director of The Hurt Locker, drawing a standing ovation from the crowd. The Hurt Locker also took Best Picture.

Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock tied for Best Actress in Julie & Julia and The Blind Side, respectively.

Jeff Bridges won Best Actor for Crazy Heart, and The Hangover got Best Comedy.

About the Author
Maggie Van Ostrand is ashamed to not be a geek, but she’s proud to have once attended a Star Trek convention where Bill Shatner spoke to her. He said “Hi. Are you anybody?” Maggie graduated from college so long ago, she can’t remember the name of it but thinks it was somewhere in New York. She majored in stuff that has nothing to do with anything she does today, except the classes she audited at the AFI. She knows little or nothing about comic book characters unless they’re drawn by Robert Crumb. She knows nothing of gaming outside of Vegas, and still thinks Moonlight was way better than True Blood. She is here because she reminds the publisher of his grandmother and he felt sorry for her. Her favorites are anything by Billy Wilder, Godfather I and II, Lawrence of Arabia, & Young Frankenstein. She writes political satire for Huffington Post, was head writer for movie trivia TV show; writes a column about Old West characters; was TV comedy ghostwriter; humor columnist for newspapers and online publications, and other boring stuff.

    Maybe that award helped the ex as she watched Cameron take the Golden Globe last night. :-)
