Kathryn Bigelow is nominated for an Academy Award for Best Director for the movie The Hurt Locker. She is only the fourth woman to be nominated for Best Director, and only the second American woman to be nominated in this category. At least the nominations are getting closer in years…

Jane Campion The Piano 1993
Sofia Coppola Lost in Translation 2003
Kathryn Bigelow The Hurt Locker 2010
