Jane Campion wins big at 2022 Critics Choice Awards

Jane Campion rounded off a stellar weekend with two more individual wins at the Critics Choice Awards.

Jane Campion continued her successful awards season streak by picking up top prizes for The Power of the Dog at the 2022 Critics Choice Awards on Sunday.

The New Zealand filmmaker won Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay for the Western, which also took home the night’s top prize, Best Picture.

It rounds off a stellar weekend for the director and her movie. She won the top honour at the Director’s Guild (DGA) Awards on Saturday as well as Best Director and Best Film at the BAFTA Film Awards in London earlier on Sunday.

Will Smith, Troy Kotsur, and Ariana DeBose also continued their awards season streak by winning Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress for King Richard, CODA, and West Side Story, respectively.

Jessica Chastain followed up her recent Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards win by taking home another Best Actress accolade for The Eyes of Tammy Faye.

Kenneth Branagh’s semi-autobiographical film Belfast was a triple winner, with prizes for Best Acting Ensemble, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Young Actor/Actress for its lead star Jude Hill.

Over in the television portion of the show, Succession dominated the drama categories, winning Best Drama Series and acting prizes for Kieran Culkin and Sarah Snook, while Ted Lasso swept the comedy categories. It took home four gongs, including Best Comedy Series and acting honours for Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, and Brett Goldstein.
