Will Kathryn Bigelow’s Ex Eclipse A Win?
February 3rd, 2010 . byControversy of the Day: Anyone talking about the Best Director Oscar race can’t mention either Kathryn Bigelow or James Cameron without bringing up the fact that the two used to be married. We’re guilty too — it’s a little trivia tidbit that spices up the usually kinda-boring analysis of the race. But it’s striking just how often that fact is mentioned — in a thoroughly unscientific study of Oscar-related articles, we’ve decided that it’s about 99.23 percent of the time.
This fact worries us, because we fear their nearly 20-year-old marriage will eclipse what a monumental achievement it will be if, come Sunday night, Kathryn Bigelow ends up the first woman to win the Best Director Oscar. Will the fact that she was once married to her competitor overshadow such a historic event?
We hope not.
