In 2010, Avatar won 3 Oscars (Art Direction, Cinematography, Visual Effects) and The Hurt Locker won 6 Oscars (including Best Picture and Director). Precious won 2 awards (Supporting Actress, Adapted Screenplay), while Crazy Heart won only 1 (Best Actor). Therefore only A and C won more than two Oscars.
