Actor STEPHEN LANG is "disgusted" AVATAR missed out on the Best Picture O scar - because he’s convinced the sci-fi epic was the best movie in the c ategory.
James Cameron’s blockbuster was snubbed in favour of his ex-wife Kathry n Bigelow’s war drama The Hurt Locker at last month’s (Mar10) Academy Awa rds.
And Lang, who played Colonel Miles Quaritch in the biggest grossing mov ie of all time, is still fuming over the decision.
He tells British TV show Live From Studio Five, "We were kind of prepar ed for it. I was slightly disgusted, I would say, but I saw every picture that was nominated and they’re all marvellous pictures. If I happen to t hink Avatar is the best of the lot you can forgive me for that.
"I would never want to in any way disrespect another film or director b ut having said that, we should have won." Lang isn’t the only Avatar star to voice his anger over the Oscars resu lts - earlier this month (Apr10), Sigourney Weaver launched a scathing at tack on Academy Awards bosses, insisting Cameron should have won the Best Director prize instead of Bigelow. Avatar won prizes for Best Art Direct ion, Best Cinematography and Best Visual Effects at the annual ceremony.
