The Guardian has listed the top 100 most powerful people working in film today, and topping that poll is non-surprisingly one Avatar director, James Cameron, who beat off the likes of Steven Spielberg, Leonardo DiCaprio and Christopher Nolan to claim the top spot.
Spielberg made the number two spot, DiCaprio number three, while Pixar and Disney supremo (and original Toy Story director) James Lasseter made the number four spot, with Brad Pitt rounding out the top five. Inception helmer Nolan made number six on the list while Angelina Jolie was the highest placed woman at number 18.
