Actress (or “actor” as the Hollywood non-sexists now prefer) Sigourney Weaver says James Cameron lost the Academy Award because “he doesn’t have breasts.”
The Telegraph UK has the subcutaneous details:
The 60-year-old, who starred in the film, also said that Avatar missed out because it is unfashionable to give the Oscar to big Hollywood blockbusters.
In an interview with a Brazilian news website, Weaver said the Academy’s choice of best director was motivated by the fact that a woman had never won the prize.
“Jim didn’t have breasts, and I think that was the reason,” Weaver told Folha Online. “He should have taken home that Oscar,” she said.
We say this is preposterous. If Hollywood handed out Oscars based on breasts, Teddy Kennedy would have won one long before Al Gore.
