]]>The Power of the Dog was running against Belfast, Dune, Don’t Look Up, and Licorice Pizza in the best film category, but it managed to beat tough competition to pick up this trophy. Campion was named the best director, becoming the third woman to ever collect this award.
Dune came into the ceremony with high expectations, after topping the list of nominees with 11 nods. It managed to win five of these awards—best cinematography, production design, special visual effects, sound, and original score.
The acting categories brought one of the biggest surprises of the night our way, with underdog Joanna Scanlan picking up the award for best actress with After Love. The rest of the winners were easier to predict—Will Smith (King Richard) was named best actor, while Troy Kotsur (CODA) and Ariana DeBose (West Side Story) dominated supporting categories.
The 75th British Academy Film Awards took place on March 13th at the Royal Albert Hall in London, with Rebel Wilson hosting the ceremony.

]]>The Handmaid’s Tale star and Avengers: Endgame’s actor will star in the forthcoming Jane Campion-helmed film adapted from Thomas Savage’s novel.
The story follows brothers Phil (Cumberbatch) and George Burbank. The two brothers are joint owners of the biggest ranch in their Montana valley. When George secretly marries local widow Rose (Moss), an angry Phil wages a relentless war to destroy her by using her son Peter as a pawn.
“The Power of the Dog is a sublime novel that deserves a life on the big screen. I couldn’t stop thinking about the story, it really haunted me. The themes of masculinity, nostalgia and betrayal are an intoxicating mix,” Campion said. “It’s also rare to find a story where the themes, the plot and the characters build tension as they reveal each other and even the end is satisfying and unexpected. It will be the first time I’ve worked with a male lead, which is exciting. Phil is a charismatic and complex character who declares war on his brother’s new wife and her teenage son.”
The film is set to go into pre-production at the end of the year.

]]>The Handmaid’s Tale star and Avengers: Endgame’s actor will star in the forthcoming Jane Campion-helmed film adapted from Thomas Savage’s novel.
The story follows brothers Phil (Cumberbatch) and George Burbank. The two brothers are joint owners of the biggest ranch in their Montana valley. When George secretly marries local widow Rose (Moss), an angry Phil wages a relentless war to destroy her by using her son Peter as a pawn.
“The Power of the Dog is a sublime novel that deserves a life on the big screen. I couldn’t stop thinking about the story, it really haunted me. The themes of masculinity, nostalgia and betrayal are an intoxicating mix,” Campion said. “It’s also rare to find a story where the themes, the plot and the characters build tension as they reveal each other and even the end is satisfying and unexpected. It will be the first time I’ve worked with a male lead, which is exciting. Phil is a charismatic and complex character who declares war on his brother’s new wife and her teenage son.”
The film is set to go into pre-production at the end of the year.
