82-4-1

82 years, 4 nominations, 1 oscar. Kathryn Bigelow takes home the first best director oscar awarded to a woman. The Guardian reports here. This has been in the media all day, it is fantastic news and Bigelow will go down in oscar history as well women's history. But it is a bitter-sweet triumph, 82 years is a long time...

    Indeed.

    Also, I've been reading this http://www.thefword.org.uk/blog/2010/03/kathryn_bigelow?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+thefword+(The+F-Word+Blog)&utm_content=Google+Reader and this http://contexts.org/socimages/2010/03/08/underrepresentation-of-women-in-hollywood/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+SociologicalImagesSeeingIsBelieving+(Sociological+Images:+Seeing+Is+Believing)&utm_content=Google+Reader , which puts one win into perspective. As much as I'm happy to celebrate the win too!
