It's so great to see a woman winning an award in such a male-dominated field. Let's hope the Oscars recognize, too! Well done, BAFTA!

Fortunately, the Broadcast Film Critics Association did not stoop so low. They bestowed Best Picture Prize upon Bigelow's masterpiece at the Critics' Choice Awards! She also won the prestigious Feature Film Award from the Directors Guild. Both wins, plus the BAFTA award, seem to increase her likelihood of prevailing at the Oscars. :-) And if Quentin Tarantino's opinion counts here, he said he expects (wants?) Kathryn Bigelow and/or her film to win there.
