Last week actor Kevin Costner announced he was ready to lend a helping hand in the oil spill effort. Seriously. (Kevin Costner’s Oil Spill Clean-Up Machines Ready)

Now the Associated Press reports director James Cameron is weighing in. What’s happening? Apparently, it’s all part of the Coalition Of Oscar Winners ready to help in this disaster relief effort.

From the AP report:

Federal officials are hoping film director James Cameron can help them come up with ideas on how to stop the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

The “Avatar” and “Titanic” director was among a group of scientists and other experts who met Tuesday with officials from the Environmental Protection Agency and other federal agencies for a brainstorming session on stopping the massive oil leak.

I don’t want to mock anyone contributing ideas on how to solve this crisis – BP is certainly struggling with options at this point.

But it does seem a little odd that Cameron and Costner are legitimate contributors to the oil spill clean-up think tank. It’s an alarming measure of just how dry the idea well really is.

Which got us thinking – Cameron and Costner are Oscar winners. Who are the other Oscar winners ready to give their take on the oil spill? Revealed for the first time – the Coalition Of Oscar Winners…

why is this being looked at as some sort of prank? hey steve, did you already forget that after 9/11 some govt. officials went to Hollywood and spoke with producers and writers to see if they could come up with any possible terrorist scenarios and how the govt. might be able to stop them? i’m not sure what came out of those talks but James Cameron is accomplished at underwater submersibles and has done 2 well known movies that revolve around the ocean. Who knows if anything comes out of this but it’s not as if this is a bad thing. I’m not getting why this is being mocked. Don’t we want as many smart people involved with this stuff?

Same thing goes with Costner. This isn’t new to him you know. He’s being trying to perfect this for 2 decades now and has a company of engineers who have been working on fixing ecological disasters. Hey Steve, how about at least TRYING to act like this isn’t crazy and stop looking down at people who are trying to help. Go get another Diet Coke Steve. That will save us all.

Look, I’m not criticizing honestly. Sarcastic yes, but I really do think that everyone who can help should help, and some of these ideas could be very viable.

I wouldn’t doubt people in Hollywood could come up with something. The stuff they build for movie sets is just amazing….
