Librarian's Daughter Wins Academy Award!

March 8, 2010 10:19

If you didn't see the Academy Awards last night or read about the winners this morning, Kathryn Bigelow won the Oscar for Best Director for "The Hurt Locker."

History was also made. It's the first time ever that a female has won the Best Director award.

Here's something else we learned and verified in several sources.

Bigelow's mother is/was a librarian in California. Awesome! Precisely where and what type of librarian is tbd.

Bigelow was raised in San Carlos, California. We came across several articles describing San Carlos as rural when Kathryn was being raised there. Today, it's a suburb of San Francisco, not far from the San Francisco International Airport.

Her directorial win is well deserved. She made a great movie that also happens to be important film. One day (if not already) "The Hurt Locker" will be considered a classic motion picture.

The Hurt Locker also won Best Picture and several other awards.
