Oscars, 2010 Academy Awards | featured news

A documentary producer who interrupted a director's Oscar acceptance speech Sunday night says she was the one who was "big-footed" on stage. Elinor Burkett, appearing Tuesday on HLN's "The Joy Behar Show," said Roger Ross Williams' charge that she ambushed him is wrong.

David slew Goliath. The small independent war drama "The Hurt Locker" won six Academy Awards on Sunday night, including best picture and director for Kathryn Bigelow -- marking the first time a woman has taken home such an honor.

A few current Oscar nominees will get their chance onstage Sunday night regardless of who wins.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Science-fiction adventure "Avatar" and war movie "The Hurt Locker" on Tuesday earned nine Oscar nominations each, including best movie, to lead the field in the competition for the world's highest film honors.

The actor has chosen not to repeat as the host of next year's ceremony.
