For making a film with an overarching message of decency, understanding, and compassion—as well as breathtakingly beautiful CGI that heralds a new era in filmmaking (one that we hope marks the coming end of the use of live animals in entertainment)—we have awarded James Cameron our 2010 Proggy Award for Outstanding Feature Film.
PETA’s Proggy (progress) Awards recognize animal friendly achievements in commerce and culture. The Golden Globe winning director will receive a framed certificate and letter of congratulations from the animal rights organization. Source
