GO KATHRYN BIGELOW!!!!!!
This indeed is bound for the history books and in this case, rightly so. The fact she also beat out her ex-hubby James Cameron is simultaneously amusing and a little awkward, but from what I've seen, there's no hard feelings from either camp. Enjoy your victory, Ms. Bigelow, you deserve it.
I also gotta say, she is very comely for a 50-something director.
