Jane Campion Becomes First Woman to Be Nominated for Best Director Twice at the Oscars |
The New Zealand writer-director is now the first woman to be nominated twice for the best director honors, picking up her second nod for"The Power of the Dog."
Campion's western psychological drama explores the tense conflict that ensues between a Montana rancher and his brother after his brother brings home a new wife and her teenage son. It leads the pack with 12 nominations including best picture, adapted screenplay, actor, supporting actor and actress, which will all be awarded March 27.
The film, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons and Kodi Smit-McPhee, arrived on Netflix Dec. 1 after a short theatrical run. for"The Piano," a period drama that follows a mute piano player and her daughter in 19th century New Zealand. Though Campion lost that year, she won the Academy Award for best original screenplay.
She is the only woman nominated for best director this year, facing off against Kenneth Branagh, Ryuske Hamaguchi, Paul Thomas Anderson and Steven Spielberg. This is the second time Campion will compete with Spielberg at the Academy Awards – he won the category in 1994 for his work on"Schindler's List."
"The Power of the Dog" has received rave reviews from critics and earned Campion a best director award last month at the Golden Globes. It's the first feature film she's directed in 12 years — and it almost didn't happen.
