The Hurt Locker won the top prize at last night's American Cinema Editors "Eddie" Awards, defeating Avatar, District 9, Star Trek and Up in the Air. This is another trophy in the bag for the Iraq war drama, which picked up an award from the Art Directors Guild on Saturday and prevailed (over Avatar) at the Directors Guild and Producers Guild Awards last month. Avatar and The Hurt Locker will again face off in the editing category when the Oscars roll around next month -- before you go betting on one over the other though, keep in mind that Eddies and Oscars don't always agree.
Other Eddie winners were The Hangover, which won in the comedy category, plus 30 Rock and Breaking Bad in TV categories. More winners after the jump.
