James Cameron is a Canadian director, producer, screenwriter and editor who has received numerous accolades throughout his career.

Cameron first gained recognition for writing and directing science fiction films like The Terminator (1984), Aliens (1986), The Abyss (1989) and Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991),[1] for which he won various awards that honor sci-fi projects, such as the Hugo Awards, the Nebula Awards, and the Saturn Awards. In 2010, he won his fifth Saturn Award for Best Director, breaking the record for being the most awarded individual in this category.

In 1997, he wrote, directed, edited and produced the epic romance blockbuster film Titanic, which was released to critical acclaim and commercial success, holding the title for being one of the most expensive films ever made and the first picture to cross $1 billion at the box office.[2] It received a record-tie of fourteen nominations at the 1998 Academy Awards and became the second film in history to win eleven statuettes,[3] with Cameron winning Best Picture, Best Director and Best Film Editing. For Titanic, he also won a Directors Guild of America Award, two Golden Globe Awards, a Producers Guild of America Award and received three nominations at the 1998 British Academy Film Awards.

In 2009, Cameron released his first feature film in eleven years, Avatar. The film broke several box office records and on January 25, 2010 became the highest-grossing movie in history.[4] At the 2010 Academy Awards, Avatar received nine nominations, with Cameron being nominated for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Film Editing. He won Best Motion Picture – Drama and Best Director at the 67th Golden Globe Awards, and Best Editing at the 15th Critics' Choice Awards.

Cameron was nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards, winning Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series in 2014 for producing the Showtime documentary television series Years of Living Dangerously, and in 2021 for producing the Disney+ nature documentary series Secrets of the Whales.
