Roll Out The Red Carpet: Oscars 2010 Announced

February 2, 2010 By

This is it! The biggest awards show in Hollywood has released their nominations today and as expected, Avatar has been well represented in the categories. Perhaps the biggest news is that Avatar will NOT be able to steal the crown from Jackson’s masterpiece Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, the epic Ben-Hur and Cameron’s own Titanic. Each film won 11 Oscars and hold the joint record of most Oscars awarded. Avatar and The Hurt Locker (directed by Cameron’s ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow) both lead the pack this year with 9 nominations each.

Cameron Is Number One….Again! This Time With A Little Film Called Avatar

January 26, 2010 By

It’s official! James Cameron has done it again. Avatar has become the #1 Grossing Movie Of All Time!

There must be a great atmosphere in the Cameron household just now since the only thing standing between Avatar and the #1 spot was his last film, Titanic. Both films have beaten classics such as the Lord Of The Rings: The Return of the King, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, and more recently The Dark Knight. One of the things that seems to have helped Avatar (just like it did for Titanic) is repeat viewings of the movie, with many people going to see the film several times to get lost in the world of Pandora.

SNL Takes on Avatar and Late Night Feud

January 17, 2010 By

SNL

Sigourney Weaver was the host of Saturday Night Live this week, so of course you’d expect an Avatar parody, since Weaver starred in the film. Well, we definitely got one. Actually, we got blessed with three, and James Cameron even jumped in on the action by premiering Laser Cats 5 to SNL exec producer Lorne Michaels. This is one of my favorite recurring sketches on the show, and this one was great as it made hysterical references to pretty much every Cameron film. We also finally get to see the sex scene from Avatar, and Weaver reacts to internet comments on her and the film.

And of course SNL couldn’t ignore the late night talk show fiasco. We have both Seth’s marriage analogy of the situation and Larry King’s take on it. Check out all the videos, embedded after the jump.
