"The Hurt Locker" wins the Producers Guild of America Award!!!


The 09-010 Best Picture race has become even more interesting. With Up in the Air surprisingly fading as a BP front runner, we're now faced with three likely candidates, each of them wildly different from each other: James Cameron's sci-fi spectacle Avatar (Golden Globe - Best Drama), Tarantino's WWII spaghetti western Inglourious Basterds (SAG Award - Best Ensemble Cast), and Kathryn Bigelow's gritty bomb-squad thriller.

LOS ANGELES - "The Hurt Locker" scored the top film award from the Producers Guild of America, building new momentum for the Iraq war drama in the expanded Oscar race for best picture.

The film about a risk-taking bomb disposal technician beat out such celebrated nominees as "Avatar," "Inglourious Basterds" and "Up in the Air" Sunday night.

"The Hurt Locker" also bested the films "Star Trek," "District 9," "An Education," "Invictus," "Up" and "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' By Sapphire" at the Producer Guild Awards in Hollywood.

The awards were the latest kudofest in the run-up to the Academy Awards in March.
