Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- James Cameron carried home two Golden Globes on Sunday night for his 3-D blockbuster, "Avatar."
"Avatar," which has sold $1.6 billion in tickets worldwide in just a month, was chosen best movie drama, while Cameron won for best movie director.
"We have the best job in the world," Cameron said.
Many of the winners and presenters at the 67th Golden Globes wore red and yellow ribbons, a reminder of Tuesday's devastating earthquake in Haiti.
"It does feel strange to dress up and play fantasy, but I'm glad we are talking about it," actress Kyra Sedgwick told CNN on the red carpet.
Globe producers included several appeals in the awards broadcast for viewers to donate to Haitian relief efforts.
