Jane Campion becomes just the third woman in history to win the Best Director Oscar for her work on The Power of the Dog – as Aussie Greig Fraser takes home Best Cinematography award
Jane Campion has won directing’s highest honour by nabbing a Best Director Oscar at the 2022 Academy Awards.
The New Zealand director, who has a Best Original Screenplay Oscar already for her work on the 1994 film The Piano, was awarded for directing Netflix film, The Power of the Dog.
Accepting the accolade on stage at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre, she said: ‘I just want to say big love to my fellow nominees, I love you all, you’re all extraordinary and it could have been any of you.’

Campion became just the third woman to win Best Director in Oscars history, and the first woman to be nominated twice in the category.
The Wellington-born artist added, ‘I love directing because it’s a deep dive into story yet the task of manifesting a world can be overwhelming yet the sweet thing is I’m not alone.
‘On The Power of The Dog, I worked with actors I’m moved to call my friends. They met the challenge of the story with the depth of their gifts.’

‘I think my brilliant producers… Netflix your whole awesome team embraced this film from the very beginning, thank you so much.’
She concluded: ‘My home team, my family, you know who you are. Especially Alice my daughter, Tony my beautiful partner you gave me so much love and encouragement and made it fun.’

It comes after Aussie cinematographer Greig Fraser won his first Oscar at the awards on Sunday.
The Australian film technician, 46, snagged the Best Cinematography statue for his work on the big budget sci-fi epic, Dune.
In his sweet acceptance speech the filmmaker thanked his wife and children, and also apologised to his mum for missing her call.

Fraser began by admitting he needed a drink after the build up to his big moment.
‘Listen, I am so happy this award is up early so I can get out and get to the bar, but I will keep it short for that reason,’ he said from the stage of the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles.
He then went on to thank the film’s Canadian director, Denis Villeneuve.
‘Denis, master. He has brought a whole group of unknown actors together to make an amazing movie, along with our lovely producer, thank you.’
Deserved: The Australian film technician, 46, was awarded Best Cinematography on Monday for his work on the big budget sci-fi epic, Dune
The Melbourne-born artist said he would call his crew later to thank them personally, before adding, ‘and speaking of calling, mum, I will return your call and I apologise.’
He signed off his speech with a thank you to his wife, costume designer Jody Fried.
He also thanked ‘my children Felix, Leo and Poppy, for allowing a middle aged man to go out and play with his friends in the sand dunes for six months.’
‘I will be home in time for dinner. Thank you guys,’ he concluded.
Good boy: The Melbourne-born artist then said he would call his crew later to thank them personally, before adding, ‘and speaking of calling, mum, I will return your call and I apologise’
Fraser is also known for his work on the 2017 film Lion, for which he received his first Academy Award nomination.
Dune also won for film editing, production design, sound, score and visual effects.
It is amongst the ten films nominated for Best Picture.
