Jane Campion has become the third woman to be awarded the Best Director Oscar after being recognised for 'The Power of the Dog' in a highly charged Academy Awards ceremony at the Dolby Theatre.
"I would have not been able to do 'Dune' without Greig. He was my strongest ally on the set."
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.
As long as people get back into the habit of going to the cinema and exhibitors can put trailers in front of them, the NSW independent sector should recover "quite well", according to Independent Cinema Australia president Scott Seddon.
