Well, the Oscars are over now, and won by a film The hurt locker I had never heard of, with an incomprehensible title.

I don't normally take an interest in the Oscars, but this time I did because a local film, District 9, had been nominated. I intended to see Avatar, another film in the same genre that had also been nominated, but probably won't

Hurt locker is an American English colloquialism usually found in the phrase put in the hurt locker. It means undergoing significant pain and suffering, typically as a result of violence. There's often the element of threat, revenge or punishment implied, e.g., "If anyone touches my car, they're gonna be put in the hurt locker."
