Jordan is The Oscar Locker! "The Hurt Locker" wins 6 Oscar Academy Awards, Movie Director Thanks Jordanians!
Posted on 3/09/2010
In one of the world's biggest events, on one of the most significant stages, and next to Hollywood Red Carpet, shortly after becoming the first woman to win the Best Director in the Oscar Award's History, "The Hurt Locker" director - Kathryn Bigelow - thanked Jordanians and paid tribute to the Kingdom of Jordan and its hospitality.
As she paid in her acceptance speech: "If I could just thank the people of Jordan who were so hospitable to us when we were shooting." Bigelow, who spent two months filming in Jordan - summer of 2007, has previously said: "You could look 360 degrees in any given day of the shoot and it would be perfect. Shooting in Jordan was a great experience. It's very cosmopolitan; they have a very rich film school and a young film infrastructure.”
More than 150 Jordanian actors and crew worked on The Hurt Locker set, in addition to some 70 film professionals, the Royal Film Commission (RFC) said.
"The Hurt Locker" won Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Sound Mixing, Best Sound Editing and Best Film Editing.
Jordan has an established track record providing the background for Oscar-winning movies. following "Lawrence of Arabia", directed by David Lean, won seven Oscars in 1963, while Steven Spielberg’s film "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" received one Oscar in 1990.
So Jordan has proved a great deal of filming capabilities, so we hope all of these achievements would be channeled to help the Jordanian Filming Industry to create great Jordanian Movies. besides, spreading more positive energy for all industry leaders to invest in our great country Jordan.

well said!
i just love the picture of the Jordan Flag and The Oscar Award!creative! :)
"The Hurt Locker is a very nice movie. The movie for sure deserve such number of Oscars. Great post. Thanks for informing us. Keep it up.
this movie truly great! it deserves the ocsars more than any other movie!
i think avatar was way better!
I loved this movie. I'm looking forward to getting it on dvd
Also not to forget that one of Jordan's brilliant sound people: Bahaa Othman was actually mentioned in the ceremony which is quite a big deal. BTW he is a lecturer at the Red Sea Institute of Cinematic Arts based in Aqaba (www.rsica.edu.jo)
This film won six Oscars, and for good reason. Jordan was a great place to shoot this movie. Jordan should be proud. Very good movie.
The 2nd picture(bombing picture) looks real. I'm unable to move my eyes from that picture. It deserves the Oscar awards.
The Hurt Locker is the one of the most original story of our times. There's nothing rehash or recycled about its theme. Good job!
It was well deserved! I thought the film was fantastic.
funtastic film
The Hurt Locker was a fine film and it deserved the win!
I love the movie
I live in America, but some of my favorite shows are filmed in other countries and have foreign actors in them as well.
I in particular seem to prefer British and Canadian drama compared to American drama simply because it seems more intense and real to me.
The environment in Jordan is quite pretty and I expect it will remain a popular place to film for decades to come.
I loved that movie! I did not know it was filmed in Jordan. Your country is beautiful indeed. Your current Queen Rania and Queen Noor before her are both beautiful too!
Quite easily the best movie of 2009 and the best war movie since Black Hawk Down and maybe even beyond that, The Hurt Locker does something that few other war movies seem to be able to do.
