The record
James Cameron's own record is mostly the awards record of Titanic and the Avatar films, with a deep-ocean dive alongside. At the 1998 Academy Awards he won three Oscars for Titanic: directing, film editing with Conrad Buff and Richard A. Harris, and Best Picture with producer Jon Landau, on a night the film won 11 of its 14 nominations. He also won the Golden Globe for best director for Titanic that year and was nominated for its screenplay.
Avatar brought him three more Oscar nominations in 2010, for directing, film editing and Best Picture, and all three went to The Hurt Locker and its director, Kathryn Bigelow; he won the Golden Globe for best director that year. In March 2012 he piloted the DEEPSEA CHALLENGER about 6.8 miles down to the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench, the first solo dive there and the first crewed dive since 1960, National Geographic reported.
Avatar: The Way of Water earned him and Landau a Best Picture nomination at the 2023 Academy Awards, which Everything Everywhere All at Once won, and the film took the Oscar for visual effects for its effects team. He was also nominated for the Golden Globe for best director for it, bringing his Golden Globe record to four nominations and two wins.
