The Iraq war drama "The Hurt Locker" has won six Academy Awards, including best picture, and made history when director Kathrin Bigelow became the first woman to win the best director prize in the Oscar's 82-year history. The low-budget movie managed to overpower blockbuster Avatar to dominate the awards. The Hurt Locker's ticket sales of just 21 million dollars made it the lowest-grossing best-picture winner ever.
