The Hurt Locker" director Kathryn Bigelow has won the Oscar for best director, become the first woman ever to achieve the top honor.Above, Bigelow arrives at the 82nd annual Academy Awards Nominee Luncheon at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California on February 15, 2010.

"The Hurt Locker" director Kathryn Bigelow has won the Oscar for best director, becoming the first woman ever to achieve the top honor at the Academy Awards.

While her best best-known films were such fare as the vampire pic "Near Dark" and the Patrick Swayze surfing drama "Point Break," the critically-acclaimed "The Hurt Locker" has put Bigelow into a different stratosphere.

She was the first woman to win the Directors Guild of America award for outstanding directorial achievement in a motion picture for "The Hurt Locker." She also won the best director prize at the 2010 British Academy Film Awards.

She was nominated for a Golden Globe but ex-husband James Cameron took the prize for his 3D sci-fi epic "Avatar."

Bigelow was the first female to win a BAFTA Award for best direction and fourth ever to be nominated for an Oscar after Lina Wertmüller for "Seven Beauties" in 1976, Jane Campion for "The Piano" in 1993 and Sofia Coppola for "Lost in Translation" in 2003.

"The Hurt Locker" follows a United States Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team during the Iraq War and stars Anthony Mackie, Brian Geraghty and best actor nominee Jeremy Renner. They star as members of a U.S. Army EOD unit in Iraq and the film tells of their tour together as they contend with defusing bombs and the threat of insurgency.

Bigelow shot in the Middle East, specifically in Jordan, within miles of the Iraq border

The 10 Hottest Girls From Quentin Tarantino Films

Critics often praise Quentin Tarantino for his edgy screenplays and directing technique, which is cool and all, but we’ve always respected the guy for casting so many hot women his movies. Seriously, the dude has a resume chock-full of beauties, and his latest flick Inglourious Basterds passes the sexy baton to Diane Kruger . Sure, D.K. is the latest and greatest attractive woman to star in a a Tarantino flick, but how does she stack up to other stunners the filmmaker has casted? Read on for a countdown of the 10 hottest girls from Tarantino films.

#10: Diane Kruger
FILM: Inglourious Basterds
ROLE: Bridget von Hammersmark
• The movie isn’t even out yet, but this German beauty has us copping pre-sale tickets.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

#9: Pam Grier
FILM: Jackie Brown
ROLE: Jackie Brown
• Some say Grier hit her prime in the ’70s, but her snappy attitude, tight stewardess outfit, and our unfulfilled cougar fantasies made us love her in this role. The twos are forever.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

#8: Patricia Arquette
FILM: True Romance
ROLE: Alabama Whitman
• We’d go on a cocaine-fueled run from the mafia with her on our arm any day.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

#7: Vivica A. Fox
FILM: Kill Bill: Vol. 1
ROLE: Vernita Green
• Fox didn’t get much screen time with this role, but seeing her all bloody and sweaty in the opening fight scene brought out our inner sadist. Too weird? Whatevs.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

#6: Lucy Liu
FILM: Kill Bill: Vol. 1
ROLE: O-Ren Ishii
• Ah, our favorite chick from the Deadly Vipers squad. We’d love to stick her with our Hattori Hanzo sword, if you know what we mean.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

#5: Bridget Fonda
FILM: Jackie Brown
ROLE: Melanie Ralston
• She tossed a fuck Robert DeNiro’s way when his character got out of jail only for him to shoot her in a mall parking lot later on for running her mouth too much. Sounds like one of our ex-girlfriends.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

#4: Chiaki Kuriyama
FILM: Kill Bill: Vol. 1
ROLE: Gogo Yubari
• This little assassin will probably merk you after smashing, but we wouldn’t mind going out with a bang.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

#3: Uma Thurman
FILM: Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill
ROLE: Mia Wallace, Beatrix Kiddo
• Tarantino knows how to shoot this woman, because Uma has never looked hotter than she did in these two movies. Period.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

#2: Rosario Dawson
FILM: Death Proof
ROLE: Abernathy
• There’s no movie where Rosario doesn’t look hot, but the potty-mouthed, ass-kicking lady she played in this flick really did it for us.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

#1: Salma Hayek
FILM: From Dusk Till Dawn
ROLE: Santanico Pandemonium
• Tarantino gave Hayek one of her first major looks with this role (which he wrote), and she gave us scenes to masturbate to over a decade later. Win/win.
