It's interesting to note that Kathyn Bigelow at 58 looks younger than both ex-husband Cameron at 55 and his current wife Suzy Amis, who is 48.

Now I'm glad I'm sitting out a 60 min power cut and didn't watch Cameron win the award live.

AHAHA best reactions ever! Yeah this is a surprising choice considering Bigelow's long-standing frontrunner status, but really....Avatar is about to becoming the biggest-grossing movie ever....I don't see it as THAT huge of a surprise. Disappointing, of course, but I was (kind of) expecting it.

Historically, the Globes aren't great with Director (Julian Schnabel won last year). And they weren't the first group to give the award to Cameron back in 1997, the Broadcast Critics did, so there isn't really a good precedent that I can think of.

Rather astounding. I'm going to have to go back and look at the Best Director history for the Globes...this is rather surprising...I mean, I expected Reitman or Tarantino instead of Cameron had Bigelow not won...
