Question of the week: what is the significance of Kathryn Bigelow's Oscar win?

Posted on March 10, 2010 | 4 comments |

So I've been a fan of Kathryn Bigelow for a long time – in fact, ever since she was on Howard Schuman's Moving Pictures back in the early 90s, giving a breakdown of that famous chase scene in Point Break. I'm delighted that she's won the Oscar for Best Director this week for Hurt Locker, making her the first female director ever to win that award.

But this week's question is:

Is Kathryn Bigelow's win significant?

Obviously, it's a significant first. But is Hollywood going to change as a result? Are more female directors going to be given breaks? Is it merely just a sign that the industry has already changed? Could it even have a bad effect, letting producers and studios think progress is being made now, so not putting so much effort in in future? Or is it simply that the best director won the award this year and there's no greater significance to it than that?

As always, leave a comment with your answer or a link to your answer on your own blog.
