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.
'No Time To Die' has been in release in the Australian market for less than two weeks but has already achieved what only a handful of films have done since the pandemic begun - it's crossed the $20 million mark.
This year's Academy Award nominations are a showcase of Australian and New Zealand talent, with Jane Campion's 'The Power of the Dog' leading the race with 12 nominations, and further nods for Nicole Kidman, 'Dune' cinematographer Greig Fraser and the 'Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' VFX team.
Once this paralysing crisis has passed, Emile Sherman questions how quickly cinemas will recover and he predicts consolidation among streaming services.
