James Cameron in the Tank For Hugo

A busy weekend of awards-driven screenings greeted Hugo director Martin Scorsese, including Q&A s hosted by Paul Thomas Anderson and James Cameron — the latter of whom reportedly called the sweeping 3-D family flick a “masterpiece.” “‘[F]inally there is a Scorsese film I can take my kids to,'” Cameron was quoted as saying by Pete Hammond, who added: “And Cameron also told Scorsese it was the best use of 3-D he had seen, including his own films.” The 2011 Oscar Index will never be the same.
