Why is Kathryn Bigelow famous?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Kathryn Bigelow is the first woman to win the Oscar for Best Director, for her film The Hurt Locker, in 2010. The Hurt Locker is the story of a bomb disposal team in the Iraq war.

Kathryn Bigelow swept the Oscars this year, with The Hurt Locker being nominated in 9 categories and winning 6 awards. The film also swept the BAFTA awards this year.

The Hurt Locker's success at the Oscars and BAFTA were all the more startling as the film defeated Avatar, the biggest blockbuster of all time. Curiously the director of Avatar, James Cameron, is Kathryn Bigelow's ex-husband.

Who won a Golden Globe an Oscar and a SAG in the same year?

Asked by Wiki User

Since Golden Globes, Oscars and SAG Awards are all film awards, there are many, many, many actors who have won all three. There are fewer actors who manage to also win Grammy Awards since that is a music award; however, the real prize in the entertainment industry is to win an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony. This covers, television, music, film and stage. It is considered the Royal Crown of the entertainment world, and it has only been achieved by ten performers.
