BAFTA'S. Hurt Locker Takes Top Honors

[Shyam]

I know many of you don't care, but I am still posting it.

Britons Carey Mulligan and Colin Firth have won the top acting Baftas, with The Hurt Locker - about bomb disposal experts in Iraq - named best film.

That movie was the night's big winner taking six awards in total including best director for Kathryn Bigelow - the first woman to win the prize.

Also other winners

Christoph Waltz won best supporting actor for Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds

Disney Pixar's Up beat competition from Fantastic Mr Fox and Coraline for best animated film while French crime A Prophet was best film in a foreign language.

The first winner of the night was Moon director Duncan Jones - the son of David Bowie - who scooped the outstanding debut by a UK film-maker.

Fairly predictable.

The fact that Mrs Bigelow (female jigalow?) won has nothing to do with the fact that she was/is linked to Mr Cameron and subsequently Titanic and Avatar.

Nothing at all.

Yeah, because by awarding Kathryn Bigelow, they're actually awarding James Cameron, who lost to Kathryn Bigelow.
