Hurt Locker’ takes top BFCA honor

I managed to catch only the final 10 or so minutes of last night’s Broadcast Film Critics film awards, but I did get to see “the kiss” and revel in the win of “The Hurt Locker” for Best Picture.

“The Kiss” was what Sandra Bullock gave to Meryl Streep following Bullock’s Best Actress win for “The Blind Side.” There was a bit of titillation there. But this was no Britney Spears/Madonna open-mouth affair. It was little more than a little lip-lock.

The big moment came when, after James Cameron’s “Avatar” had taken six separate awards, it lost out to “The Hurt Locker” for the overall prize. What underscored the win even more was that “Hurt Locker” was directed by Kathryn Bigelow, one of Cameron’s ex-wives.
