Jane Campion On 12 Nominations For ‘The Power Of The Dog’ Almost 30 Years After Last Oscar Glory: “It’s A Comeback”
09.02.2022 - 04:25 / deadline.com
Jane Campion is sitting up in bed at her home in Sydney, about to go for her morning swim and reeling from the news that her film The Power of the Dog has received 12 Oscar nominations, two shy of the record 14 garnered by just three films in Academy history: All About Eve, Titanic and La La Land. “I didn’t have a very good sleep, but I’ve had a very good day,” she says cheerily. “At about 2am I could hear the beeps coming in on my phone, and then my partner came in and… Well, he took his time. He was really spinning it out, cruelly. From the look on his face I thought, ‘Oh no, we didn’t get any.’”
But when the numbers stacked up, it was different story. “I’ve got wet eyes,” she says. “I really feel emotional.

It does feel like a special moment in your whole career. Like, the last time I was in this position was with The Piano—and that was 30 years ago.” She laughs. “So it’s a comeback.”
Was such a return to the Oscars something she ever foresaw, after missing out with such acclaimed indies as The Portrait of a Lady, Holy Smoke, In the Cut and Bright Star? “I’m quite used to not getting them, so I’m used to both sides of it,” she says. “I mean, I’ve made quite a few films since The Piano, and they didn’t get that kind of recognition, even though I felt like I was trying just as hard. It’s really mysterious what people
