James Cameron for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Film Editing. After "Titanic", Cameron began a project that took almost 10 years to make: his science-fiction epic "Avatar" (2009), which was in particular a landmark for 3D technology, and for which he received nominations for the same three Academy Awards.
