Jane Campion was also named best director for “The Power of the Dog,” only the third woman to win the prize in the awards' seven-decade history.

“It’s a very scary and sad time,” he said on the red carpet. Cumberbatch wore a lapel badge in the blue and yellow of the Ukrainian flag. In 2020, no women were nominated as best director for a seventh consecutive year, and all 20 nominees in the lead and supporting performer categories were white. She thanked “the women of this country who taught me what it is to be in this industry as a dark-skinned woman. Campion is only the third female winner in that category, but the second in two years after Chloe Zhao for “Nomadland” in 2021.

Director Jane Campion has responded to Sam Elliott's disparaging comments about her Oscar-nominated film “The Power of the Dog" in a video with Variety.

After calling out Elliott on the red carpet, Campion made history at the DGA Awards by winning in the theatrical feature film category for her Netflix movie. “I’m trying very hard not to say anything about a very odd reaction that happened the other day on a radio podcast over here,” Cumberbatch said, although he did not mention Elliott’s name. Not everyone has to like it,” Plemons concluded. Earlier this month, Elliott was interviewed by Marc Maron on his “WTF” podcast. I don’t know why.” I think it’s a little bit sexist because when you think about the number of amazing Westerns that were made in Spain by (director) Sergio Leone.”

Will Smith and CODA's Troy Kotsur grabbed more statues as Belfast showed its strength.

“Man, I have to go to the bathroom,” Keaton joked at the beginning of his acceptance speech. “I am here tonight with Venus and Serena and their sister Isha,” said Smith. “And I really just want to say to all of you, thank you for entrusting me with your story. For those roles to work, it would have to be substantially changed.” And those Oscar frontrunners continued to pick up steam, with Belfast, CODA, and The Power Of The Dog going home with more accolades. The #SeeHer award is an honorary prize for advocating for gender equality, portraying characters with authenticity, and pushing boundaries. But not even he was immune to the ceremony’s rushed broadcast. “I’ve been in the business for 30 years, and I used to think if I could play the part of a white man, I was winning,” Berry said in her acceptance speech. Because if you didn’t know, I’m not a white man! Despite its 10 nominations, The Power Of The Dog went home slightly lighter than expected. Jane Campion, fresh off shutting down the conversation surrounding Sam Elliot’s distracting and dismissive comments about her film, picked up a much-deserved Best Director win. Every passing week, we inch closer and closer to that little gold man we call Oscar. Oh, yes, there will be flubs, snubs, but positively no scrubs, as per the TLC rule.

'Power of the Dog' director Jane Campion called actor Sam Elliott's demeaning remarks about the Oscar-nominated western 'a little bit sexist.'

“I consider myself a creator. And the West is a mythic space, and there’s a lot of room on the range.” In a red-carpet interview with Variety at Saturday’s Directors Guild of America Awards, Campion rejected Elliott’s scathing take on the acclaimed Netflix film. Elliott — who made a name for himself acting in westerns — drew sharp criticism earlier this month for complaining about “The Power of the Dog” and its “allusions to homosexuality” on comic Marc Maron’s podcast.
