At the 82nd Academy Awards, James Cameron lost the Best Director prize to his ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow. The film he was nominated for? 'Avatar', the juggernaut box office success that sat at the top of the highest grossing worldwide list until a matter of weeks ago when it was overtaken by 'Avengers: Endgame'. Adjusted for inflation, it's still the second-highest grossing film of all-time, but the picture that sits leaps and bounds ahead of it? 'Gone With The Wind', a four-hour romantic epic, released in 1939 and winner of the 12th Best Picture prize. Today, in our first ever episode, we pit the two iconic movies head-to-head.
A massive thank you goes to Emma Thorpe, the composer and producer of all of our music.
