It's Oscar time - and this year "Avatar" is getting a lot of the buzz for best picture. James Cameron directed the sci-fi drama, which is one of the biggest box office hits of all time. Flashback to 1997, and another Cameron flick was getting big buzz - "Titanic," also huge at the box office. Let's look at both movies' heroes and see who's really a champion.

Jack: Sinking ship

Jack: A rich chick who refuses to go down with the ship
BIGGEST WEAKNESS
Sully: He goes crazy for Fancy Feast.
Jack: Not the strongest swimmer.
WHAT HE LOOKS FOR IN A WOMAN
Sully: Someone who understands why he would double-cross her; also, she can't be a big dog lover.
Jack: Someone who might scoot over and give him some room on a floating piece of wood in the middle of the freezing ocean.
LAST WEEK: Sue Sylvester vs. Mr. Shuester
Our pick: Sue. She's just ruthless.
Your pick: You like Sue, too. She took the contest with 62 percent of the vote.
