Avatar, The Hurt Locker and Inglourious Basterds were the critics' darlings in Hollywood on Friday night after scoring 11 prizes between them at the 2010 Critics Choice Movie Awards.

Avatar claimed six honours, including all the night's technical awards, Inglourious Basterds picked up three and The Hurt Locker doubled up with two of the event's biggest awards for Best Directing (Kathryn Bigelow) and Best Picture.

Nine was the night's big flop - the musical was completely shut out, despite scoring 10 nominations last month.

The night's double winners were Up and Crazy Heart, for which Jeff Bridges claimed the Best Actor honour.

The event threw up a moment of drama when both Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep were named Best Actress - the stars pretended to stage a tense face off on stage at the Hollywood Palladium.
