This is a wonderful sign for The Hurt Locker. The winner at the PGA has gone on to win Best Picture at the Academy Awards 13 times out of the last 20 years.

It also means Avatar is beginning to lose steam. It’s gotta clean up at the BAFTAs or it could hurt big time come Oscar night.

The ten films nominated for Best Picture at the PGA were:

• An Education
  
• Avatar
• District 9
  
• The Hurt Locker
  
• Inglourious Basterds
• Invictus
  
• Precious
  
• Star Trek
• Up
  
• Up in the Air
