James Cameron Slams Amy Poehler's 2013 Golden Globes Jab About His Marriage

James Cameron criticized Amy Poehler's joke linking his past marriage to Kathryn Bigelow to torture controversy, saying it undermined Bigelow's credibility and distracted from her film.

  • Speaking in a recent interview with The New York Times, James Cameron said Amy Poehler's 2013 Golden Globes joke was an ignorant dig that went too far, diverting attention from Kathryn Bigelow's film.
  • Back in 2013, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey co-hosted the 2013 Golden Globes, where Poehler said, `I haven't really been following the controversy over Zero Dark Thirty` during the opening monologue, referencing the film's debate while Kathryn Bigelow was nominated for Best Director.
  • The audience at the 2013 Golden Globes reacted with visible shock, Jessica Chastain was jaw-dropped, and Cameron stayed silent without responding publicly at the time.
  • Cameron noted their shared history, saying he was the first to applaud Kathryn Bigelow, director and Cameron's ex-wife , and they remained amicable collaborators.
  • Earlier this month, Cameron criticized the Academy for ignoring sci-fi films and recently made headlines over Point Break, fueling renewed debate on awards-night humor's impact on filmmakers.
