Tim Burton might be in charge of movie takes on Alice in Wonderland, but Helena Bonham Carter calls the shots at home.

The Alice star said: “At home I’m the boss – he calls me ‘chief’ and I would say on the whole he likes me to make the decisions. He’s not a mad professor type. His time management is good. He is financially responsible. A part of him maybe exists in an alternative reality but he is a very sane and grounded good father.”

Burton, whose 3-D fantasy film starring Johnny Depp has taken London by storm, is the father of Bonham Carter’s two children. The actress admitted things can get contentious on set. “At work is where we sometimes get it wrong. He’s the boss and I’m not as silent as he’d like me to be.”

Zoe Saldana bamboozled interviewers as she calls her dress the ”embodiment of everything I’ve been through”.

The Avatar actress wasn’t nominated for an Oscar but clearly deserved a gong for talking up her dress.

She said: “It’s yards and yards of fabric. It’s the dress that the moment my stylist and I saw it we immediately fell in love with it. It fits everything I’ve been through leading up to tonight and my whole experience in Avatar. It embodies everything that I’ve been through. It’s big and it’s colourful and shimmery. That’s exactly what Avatar did.”

Kathryn Bigelow has scored a double triumph over ex-husband James Cameron and his blockbuster movie Avatar at the Oscars, with The Hurt Locker winning her best director and best picture.

Bigelow became the first female director to win an Academy Award.

Cameron was seated behind his former spouse, with whom he is on friendly terms, and stood to applaud as she was announced best director.

He smiled and appeared to say: “Yes, oh yes!” before the cameras cut away.

Bigelow said: “This really is – there’s no other way to describe it – it is the moment of a lifetime. This is so extraordinary to be in the company of my fellow nominees, such powerful film-makers who have inspired me and I have admired some of them for decades.”

There were few surprises in the main categories on Hollywood’s biggest night.

Hot favourite Jeff Bridges won best actor for Crazy Heart. The Blind Side’s Sandra Bullock was named best actress, as widely predicted. Mo’Nique won best supporting actress for Precious, with Inglourious Basterds star Christoph Waltz best supporting actor.
