* [[Award Snub]] - Many consider that ''[[The Hurt Locker]]'' winning out over Avatar in the 2010 Oscars and the BAFTAs was in a magnitude comparable to [[
** Cameron himself, however, may not have seen it as such, as he had stated that he was actually [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/17/james-cameron-i-hope-my-e_n_466616.html rooting for Bigelow to win Best Picture.]
* [[Broken Base]] - ''Titanic'' is arguably the main source of arguments, closely followed (or even outmatched) by ''Avatar''.

* [[Sci Fi Ghetto]]: Defied. He's regarded as one of the greatest directors in Hollywood by moviegoers and professional critics alike (even those whose tastes lean toward [[True Art|the highbrow]]). And all but two of his films are sci-fi, although it was played straight by the Academy with ''Titanic'' being his only film to be nominated for major Oscars and actually win.
