Yes!
Kathryn Bigelow got the Best Director Oscar for The Hurt Locker! (Okay, the movie got some other awards besides that, including Best Picture, but this was the big one.)
And, apparently causing heads to explode all over the movie-criticism websites, Sandra Bullock won Best Actress. Since she beat out both Helen Mirren and Meryl Streep (and the other 2 actresses are too “new” to have a following in Hollywood) – that sounds like the “It was her turn” award vote that got her it.
And a Star Trek movie actually got an award (one of the technical ones) and a Pixar movie won Best Animation (again.).
And I missed the new iPad commercial that played right before that Pixar award. Darn. (And the Apple Hate drenched all the tech blog-sites seconds later. Time to stop reading them I think.)
