Jane Campion looks on track to take home her second Oscar for directing after being winning Best Director at the BAFTA Awards, with her Western drama 'The Power of the Dog' also awarded Best Film.
While the AACTA International Awards always naturally have a slight Australasian bent, this year felt particularly so, with multiple awards for Jane Campion's 'The Power of the Dog', including star Kodi Smit-McPhee, as well as Nicole Kidman and Murray Bartlett.
Expectations were understandably high for Jane Campion's first feature film in 12 years, but the majority of critics believe 'The Power of the Dog' has a deserved place among her previous successes following its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival on Thursday.
As anticipated, writer-director Jane Campion's 'The Power of the Dog' will make its world premiere in competition at the Venice Film Festival.
