Quentin Tarantino has announced that he is staying in the film industry since the success of his last movie Ingourious Basterds.
The World War II film is the biggest grossing film for the director at the global box office and has gone on to secure eight Oscar nominations.
Of those nominations the film is up for Best Picture, and is the favourite to possibly spoil the Avatar/The Hurt Locker party, and Best Director for Tarantino himself.
Speaking to Digital Spy the filmmaker said: "I am simply very proud that Inglourious Basterds has been so well received.
"It's like this. I was always talked about for my first two films like I was some sort of flash in the pan. But then I went from flavour of the month, to flavour of the year, to flavour of the decade.
"Now, at the end of two decades in the business, well maybe I'm not the flavour of anything. I am here to stay."
It is the first Best Picture and Best Director nod for Tarantino since 1994's Pulp Fiction.
