Best Picture Oscar Winner 2010

Tom Hanks presented The Hurt Locker as the winner of the Best Picture award at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards on March 7, 2010. The year 2010 was the first time in 67 years that the field of nominees was expanded to include ten films. This marked only the second time in Oscar history that this decision had been made.

Thanks... This has been a very strange year—I can definitely say that. I think this is probably the only award I'm going to win tonight. So, I was trying to think…maybe I should say a whole lot of stuff, right here, right now—just get it out of my system. Because I thought about it all year long—everything building up... Just blow it all—just tonight—just say everything… But I'm not. Thanks!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWxPXymlULA
