Cameron expected Oscars to overlook 'Avatar' stars

James Cameron didn’t expect the stars of ‘Avatar’ to get Oscar nominations.

The director – who broke box office records when the 3-D sci-fi film went on to take $2.7bn – was expecting the main actors, including Zoe Saldana, Sam Worthington and Sigourney Weaver, to be overlooked by the Academy Awards because of the use of computer graphics in the film.
