Cameron wins IBC International Honour For Excellence

The IBC International Honour For Excellence (IHFE) has been awarded to top Hollywood director and screenwriter James Cameron.
An international jury chaired by IBC's Peter Owen bestowed the honour in recognition of Mr Cameron's continuing enthusiasm for embracing technological innovation to engage his audience in a range of exciting, moving and informative productions.
On receiving the award at his Hollywood home James Cameron said: "Thank you for presenting me with this very cool and completely unexpected award. I'm told that IBC attracts more than 40,000 attendees from more than 20 countries... people who are involved in the creation and delivery of entertainment... so it's a pleasure to be honoured by my fellow professionals from around the globe. I would like to take this opportunity to encourage their good work in developing and applying new media technologies that create such exciting opportunities for producers and directors everywhere. I'm sorry I could not be there in person to express my thanks, but my wife and I are expecting the arrival of our new baby literally any minute, and I was forbidden to travel by the boss of the family. Thank you and have a great show this year."
The IBC International Honour for Excellence, formerly known as the IBC John Tucker Award is given annually to an individual, group or organisation demonstrating excellence of innovation, furtherance or application of media technology. The Award reflects the essence of IBC, which is about the creation management, and delivery of entertainment content.
