4. Milestone

Halle Berry winning Best Actress in 2002 for "Monster's Ball" was a memorable moment not only at the Oscars, but also in history. She became the first black woman to win an Oscar for Best Actress, and her speech was expectedly extremely emotional.

Correction: Kathryn Bigelow was not married to Steven Spielberg (and he did NOT direct Avatar). She was married to James Cameron -- the director of Avatar. C'mon people.
