What is it with this kinder, gentler version of James Cameron? Whether it be age, love or money - something has seriously mellowed out the formerly blowhard director. I guess having more money than 1/2 of Hollywood combined would give him some peace. And now? He's actually exhibiting a sense of humor. Gasp! Details, via E! Online: "I don't know anything about that...I don't produce the Oscars. If they want to poke fun at Avatar Sunday, that's OK by me," said Cameron. As far as he's concerned, he told me, jokes are just another element of Hollywood's big night. And he's fine with it. "The Oscars are a celebration of movies...even the gaffes and out-of-bounds stuff are all part of the fun." So he's good with it. Sacha, are you still willing?]
He must really want that Oscar! So, is James Cameron really that media savvy? Well, one could assume the answer is yes. A person doesn't get to his level without an extreme amount of patience, combined with the ability to navigate the treacherous waters of Hollywood politics. One thing that appeals to voters of the Academy is humility - and James definitely seems willing to play nice... in exchange for a hunk of gold.
