Jeremy Renner and BAFTA winner Kathryn Bigelow at the BAFTA Soho House Grey Goose after party held at the Grosvenor House Hotel on February 21 in London. Jeremy Renner was in the running in the Best Actor category for Bigelow's Iraq War drama The Hurt Locker, but he lost to Colin Firth's grieving gay college professor in A Single Man. Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to win the BAFTA Award for Best Director. Bigelow is expected to become the first woman to win the Oscar for Best Director as well. (Photo by Dave M.

The Hurt Locker, the favorite for this year's Best Picture Oscar, has been criticized by several Iraq War veterans who assert that the film's depiction of the bomb-defusing squad is thoroughly inaccurate. The sequence in which Jeremy Renner's character runs through the streets of Bagdad to find out what happened to an Iraqi boy he had befriended has been called particularly absurd.

They're great together aren't they? I hope they collaborate again.
And I really feel they should get married, but that would be an added bonus.
Great Photo. Great team. Amazing movie. Go see it if you haven't. You two go get Oscars, now, OK?
