Take That, Avatanic

Just when the little movie that could seemed to have lost its spark at the GGs last week, it was selected as Best Picture of the Year by the Producers Guild of America! The Hurt Locker was chosen BY PRODUCERS, not just a selection of foreign journalists. Actual producers made this choice. Wahoo!

During the Screen Actors Guild Awards the day before, the Best Ensemble award went not to THL, but to Inglourious Basterds. Hrm... For the SAGs, Avatar wasn't even nom'd, but for the PGAs, it was and still lost to Bigelow's film. THL is back, baby.

Barely a week 'till Oscar noms come out, on Feb. 2nd!
