The Director’s Guild of America has awarded Katherine Bigelow‘s film The Hurt Locker their highest honor. No female director has ever won the DGA Award!

In an historic win, Kathryn Bigelow and her tense Iraq War drama ”The Hurt Locker” from Summit Entertainment copped the DGA Award for best-directed feature film Saturday.

The win drew cheers from a packed ballroom of the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza, where throughout the night it was clear many were pulling for Bigelow to deliver a dramatic victory for female filmmakers. The DGA feature film win was a first-ever by a woman.

“This is the most incredible moment of my life,” Bigelow said.

Great news for female directors, good to see her rewarded for the film. If you haven’t seen The Hurt Locker, I highly suggest you rent it. She really deserved the award.
