win at the 2022 Oscars for Best Picture.The audience cheered loudly for the Apple film, but also signed applause to honor the movie.Lady Gaga and Liza Minnelli presented the award to Heder at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, where Hollywood’s elite dressed up to celebrate the joy of film at the ceremony, led by Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes and Regina Hall.Star Troy Kotsur won best supporting actor earlier in the night, making history.“CODA” received three nominations in total, but managed to edge out “Belfast,” “Don’t Look Up,” “Drive My Car,” “Dune,” “King Richard,” “Licorice Pizza,” “Nightmare Alley,” “The Power of the Dog” and “West Side Story” for Oscar glory.Jane Campion’s “Dog” was largely predicted to be the favorite of the night, putting an end to Netflix’s losing streak at the Academy Awards — and perhaps making the film’s biggest, vocal detractor, Sam Elliott, eat his words. However, while the critically acclaimed film — which memorably unleashed the power of the dong with on-screen full-frontal male nudity — did score a slew of awards before the Oscars, it was not nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award for best ensemble, which is typically a reliable predictor of a Best Picture win.“Dog” did win best picture in the drama category at the controversy-ridden Golden Globes, which did not air after embarrassing public backlash, alongside “West Side Story,” which was top dog in the musical category.While given seven nods, Steven Spielberg’s updated “West Side Story” hardly shared the same success as the 1961 original, which took home more Oscars than any other musical has.

14.03.2022 - 19:11 / foxnews.com
Jane Campion had a few choice letters in response to Sam Elliott’s criticism of her film "The Power of the Dog" during the DGA Awards Saturday night. The director, who was asked for her response about the actor’s shocking comments, refused to hold back. "I’m sorry, he was being a little bit of a B-I-T-C-H," the 67-year-old told Variety before the ceremony.
"He’s not a cowboy; he’s an actor.The West is a mythic space and there’s a lot of room on the range. I think it’s a little bit sexist." Elliott, who has made his mark in Westerns, criticized Campion’s take on the genre during his recent appearance on Marc Maron’s "WTF" podcast. Campion noted that she viewed the 77-year-old's crude criticism as a slight against her as a female filmmaker.

I think he thinks of me as a woman or something lesser first, and I don’t appreciate that." A spokesperson for Elliott didn’t immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. When Elliott was asked if he had seen the film, the star replied, "You want to talk about that piece of s---?" Elliott referenced a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times that featured a review blurb that described the film as "an evisceration of the American myth." The film is also nominated for 12 Academy Awards. Actor Sam Elliott previously called ‘The Power of the Dog’ a ‘piece of s---.’ (Photo by Vincent Sandoval/Getty Images) "I thought, what the f---?"

He compared the film’s characters to Chippendales dancers who “wear bowties and not much else”.But when Marc Maron, whom Elliott was speaking to on the WTF podcast, noted that homosexuality is “what the movie’s about” (Benedict Cumberbatch portrays Phil, a sexually repressed ranch owner), Elliott criticised Campion’s interpretation of the American west.Describing her as “a brilliant director” before making his point about the “piece of shit” film, Elliott said: “What the fuck does this women from down there [New Zealand] know about the American west?
