James Cameron praised for skills in filmmaking: 'Phenomenal'

James Cameron is known for his prowess in filmmaking, and his peers have celebrated this reality for quite a long time. 

More such kind of praise was on display at the D23 event, where fellow colleagues of the legendary director showered praise upon him for his mastery of behind-the-camera craft.

“You revolutionised the filmmaking process too many times to count, by developing cutting-edge technology and giving audiences an immersive and elevated experience that is realistic and phenomenal to behold," Kate Winslet said, who has worked with him on multiple critically-hit projects.

"And you do it all with such collaboration and good grace," adding, "It’s mindblowing to think of how many other movie-lovers’ lifetimes you have impacted and entertained," she continued.

"Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey. I love you to pieces."

Adding her share to the chorus of praise, Avatar star Zoe Saldana said, “I thank you for giving me the best gift a director can give an actor – job security."

Noting, “I’m going to be collecting my pension by the time the last Avatar movie hits theatres.”
