“It would be impossible without the man I never met”: Jane Campion Remembers Thomas Savage While Accepting the Best Director Oscar Award for Netflix’s &#8216;The Power of the Dog&#8217;

The Power of the Dog created quite a buzz for itself when it received several
nominations in the Oscars. Jane Campion, the director of the film, too received
a nomination for the film. And unlike the movie itself, she bagged an award at
the ceremony a few hours ago. With this win, Campion became the third woman to
win the best director award at Oscar after Chloe Zhao win for Nomadland in 2021
and Kathryn Bigelow win for Hurt Locker in 2010.


JANE CAMPION AND THE OSCARS

With Jane’s win, a lady has won the Oscar for best director for a second year.
She also created history by bagging two nominations

in this year’s Academy Awards. However, this win at the Oscars is not her first.
Jane had previously won the best original screenplay award in 1994 for The
Piano.

She even offered the final thank you to Thomas Savage, the author of the novel
from which the film came about. She confesses, “It would be impossible without
the man I never met, Thomas Savage. He wrote about cruelty, wanting the
opposite, kindness. Thank you, Academy. It’s a lifetime honor.”

In the press interview
[https://variety.com/2022/film/news/oscars-jane-campion-wins-best-director-1235210000/]
room backstage after the ceremony was over, she shared how she believed they
will encourage more and more women to devote their talent to the industry. She
feels many more women have to come who will be fourth, a fifth, a sixth, a
seventh, and an eighth to win the Oscars.
