The stars have picked up their Oscars at the 2010 Academy Awards. Best Picture: "The Hurt Locker." Best Actor: Jeff Bridges. Best Director: Kathryn Bigelow for "The Hurt Locker," the first woman to receive the award.

Here at Bing Travel, we are silently honoring an unofficial award: Best Film Location. This year, we give the little golden statue to “It’s Complicated,” which shows off beautiful Santa Barbara, Calif., including its posh Montecito residential area, the Santa Barbara County Courthouse and historic El Paseo.

What about the best scenery of all time? In a new slide show, we explore such favorites as the Peter Jackson-directed trilogy “The Lord of the Rings,” which promotes New Zealand better than any travel poster can, “The Sound of Music,” which flaunts Salzburg, Austria, so successfully that fans are still making pilgrimages 40 years later, and “Out of Africa,” which can make most anyone who views it want to hop on a plane to Kenya.

Which movies would you nominate for best film location? Just don’t suggest “Doctor Zhivago.” The scenery’s great, but it was filmed in Finland, Spain and Canada. And “Gone with the Wind”? That Southern epic was filmed mostly in California.
