According to Showbiz Spy, James Cameron has admitted that he does not expect Avatar to win “Best Picture” at the Oscars.
James Cameron claimed that his ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow will beat him to the prize with her movie “The Hurt Locker”. “I think that while this has been a great season for “Avatar” financially, I think critically it is probably going to lean more towards “The Hurt Locker” at the Academy Awards,” he said. “That´s fine. That´s cool, too.”
He added: “I can´t lose unless it leads to one of the other films. In that case I´ll probably be a little bit more disappointed but as long as it’s Hurt Locker or Avatar then I´ll be happy.”
