Although James Cameron seemed genuinely pleased for his ex-wife, there was one person who wasn’t happy about Kathryn Bigelow’s Academy Awards success: Sigourney Weaver.

In a Brazilian interview to promote Cameron’s move, the Avatar actress said Bigelow’s gender was the reason why she nabbed the first Best Director prize ever for a female director.

“Jim didn’t have breasts, and I think that was the reason,” Weaver told Folha Online. “He should have taken home that Oscar.”

Oh, but the bitter remarks did not stop there. The three-time Oscar nominee also went on to say that Bigelow’s film shouldn’t have taken home the Academy Award for Best Film either.

“In the past, Avatar would have won because they [Oscar voters] loved to hand out awards to big productions, like Ben-Hur. Today it’s fashionable to give the Oscar to a small movie that nobody saw,” she claimed.

Okay - so let me see if I understand this correctly. Did Avatar deserve to win simply because it was a big production (in that case Transformers 2 should have been considered), or was The Hurt Locker undeserving because nobody saw it? Sounds like a pretty screwed up answer either way, Sigourney.
