Dat ca favorit printre nominalizati, Avatar a confirmat asteptarile si a castigat doua dintre cele mai importante trofee la cea de-a 67-a editie a Globurilor de Aur, antecamera Oscarurilor, dupa cum este numita in media aceasta gala de premiere. Blockbusterul a fost numit cel mai bun film, iar James Cameron, cel care l-a gandit timp de 15 ani, cel mai bun regizor.


Aflate la editia cu numarul 67, Globurile de Aur sunt considerate un adevarat barometru al Oscarurilor, 67,4 la suta dintre peliculele premiate castigand, ulterior, si distinctia acordata de Academia Americana de Film pentru cel mai bun film. In ultimii cinci ani, insa, aceasta "regula" a fost respecta doar de Slumdog Millionaire, care a fost premiata atat cu Globul de Aur, cat si cu Oscarul pentru cea mai buna pelicula.
