Throughout this awards season, the media have made a big deal of the fact that fellow directing nominees and ex-husband and wife Cameron and Bigelow would surely have a knock-down, drag-out fight in the race to the gold statue. Cameron and Bigelow have both done their best to squash that story line, but, hey, check out the two between acts during the show. Nothing but, uh, hugs, right?

It's a friendly rivalry. No, really!
