James Cameron isn't nervous about being up against his ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow in the Best Director category at the Academy Awards Sunday in Hollywood.

Look back at the worst Oscar dresses of all time!

On E!'s pre-Oscar special, the Avatar director, 55, said he and his ex-wife, who directed The Hurt Locker, "don't feel any sense of competition between ourselves."

Cameron added he and his current wife, Suzy Amis, were "big supporters" of Bigelow's work.

Check out these stars when they hit the Oscars as kids!

"We both couldn't be more proud of what Kathryn has accomplished," he said. "We're very supportive."

To prove there's no ill will, he said they often consult each other on different projects.

"She sees my films when I'm writing them and cutting them and vice versa," he said. "She saw Avatar five times at different stages and gave notes. So we're actually helping each other!"

See Us' pick for what the stars should be wearing to the Oscars!

He added that he even encouraged her to direct The Hurt Locker. He said he told her it was a "no-brainer" that she should "make this movie now."

    They only gave it to her because she's female. The USA is to men as Iran is to women.

    They only gave Kathryn the award because she's a woman and not a man. The USA is heaven for manhaters.

    Congratulations to Kathryn. She radiates brains, beauty and health (unlike his present skeletal partner). Based on what I saw last night, he must be sorry he let Kathryn go.

    Cameron surely has enough money to buy groceries, he should take his wife out for a meal once in awhile. She is all skin and bones. Her arms were so skinny and her face gaunt, she looked "grey" all over skin colour and hair. She was hard to look at. Anorexic looking. Lady, take some of those millions and buy yourself a meal, go out and eat something.

    Most men in trade up as they reach their zenith.....Not James Cameron....He was married to this gorgeous woman, as well as Linda Hamilton, also gorgeous....his current wife is a dog...even when he met her, and left Hamilton for her she was a dog....

    That's very nice of James & his wife, Suzy, to do, and it's nice that James & Kathryn support each other with their films, etc.

    Yes, Bonnie, Suzy did look rough and quite old. Perhaps if her hair wasn't pulled back and she had on some make-up? I don't know. But his Oscar-winning ex looked pretty hot.

    Did anyone else notice that James Cameron's wife Suzy Amis looked so skeletal? It was scary and made me wonder if there is something wrong with her... is she sick or something?
