23 Dec
Summary
- Cameron regrets Amy Poehler's 2013 Golden Globes joke about his marriage.
- He felt the joke targeted him unfairly at a film celebration.
- Collaborators praise his demanding nature as a sign of perfectionism.
Filmmaker James Cameron recently spoke with the New York Times about his career, including a joke made by Amy Poehler at the 2013 Golden Globes that he considers an "ignorant dig." The jest, linking his ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow's success to her marriage with him, reportedly stung Cameron due to the audience's laughter.
Cameron expressed that while he can handle good-natured jokes, this one felt inappropriate for a celebration of cinema. He indicated that the audience's reaction revealed their negative perceptions of him, despite lacking personal knowledge of his work ethic.
Despite reports of Cameron being a difficult director, some collaborators, like Kate Winslet, view his exacting standards as a sign of deep perfectionism, essential for producing high-quality films.
