Jane Campion has the “Power of the Dog” behind her.
The 67-year-old cinematographer became just the third woman to win outstanding director at the Oscars when she did so Sunday night for “Power of the Dog,” the Benedict Cumberbatch-starring Netflix Western about a cruel ranch owner whose brother brings home a new wife and her son.
With her win, Campion beat out Kenneth Branagh (”Belfast”), Ryuske Hamaguchi (”Drive My Car”), Paul Thomas Anderson (”Licorice Pizza”) and Steven Spielberg (”West Side Story”).
