So Kathryn Bigelow....She's broken the mold and won Best Director at the BAFTAs. Yes that's right, the very first woman to win Best Director, EVER. Or so the newspapers tell me but then again, that's not always the best reliable source.
Ironically, it was for her film 'The Hurt Locker'. A war film. So it's probably more by CHANCE she was the director and won it, in fact I wouldn't be too surprised if many men watching the show went "WHAT? That was done by a WOMAN? Shouldn't she have been doing COSTUMES? Well I feel like I have been tricked!" Or some kind of drivel like that.
So maybe it is a win for women, it'll be interesting to see if the Oscars follow suit. However I will find it a real victory when it goes to a female director of some soppy girlie epic romance film, however I think we might be waiting some time!
