Can Hurt Locker make Oscars history?

Kathryn Bigelow

Cannot play media. Sorry, this media is not available in your territory.

In the Academy Awards' 81 year history, women have rarely been nominated for the best director Oscar. But this weekend many critics are putting their money on The Hurt Locker's Kathryn Bigelow to actually win it.

That will go down in film history as Sophie van Brugen reports.
