The 2010 Oscars (82nd Annual Academy Awards) was a night of many firsts, including that of the major awards. Kathryn Bigelow won her first Oscar for Best Director (her 1st nomination, too). It was also the first time in the history of the Oscars for a woman to win as Best Director. So apt, as today is International Women’s Day! A toast to all the women of the world.
It was the first Oscar for Best Actress Sandra Bullock (her 2nd nomination) and Best Actor Jeff Bridges (his 5th nomination). For the Best Actor and Actress in a Supporting Role (Jeff Bridges and Mo’Nique, respectively) their Oscars were their first (and their nominations were their first, as well). Isn’t that interesting?
