It's hardly surprising, but James Cameron is a big fan of Zoe Saldaña's performance in Avatar: The Way of Water. So much so, in fact, that it "makes no sense" to him that she wasn't nominated for it at the 2023 Oscars.
"I've worked with Academy Award-winning actors, and there's nothing that Zoe's doing that's of a caliber less than that," the filmmaker recently told Variety. "But because in my film she's playing a 'CG character,' it kind of doesn't count in some way, which makes no sense to me whatsoever."
