'The Power of the Domestic dog' finishes with a stunning series of victories.
Prototype
That's i powerful "Dog."
Jane Campion's western, "The Power of the Domestic dog," took the acme honor at the Critics Choice Awards on Dominicus night, capping off a remarkable weekend of wins that also included a Directors Gild victory for Campion and BAFTA prizes for directing and all-time film.
The Netflix drama also won Critics Choice Awards for cinematography, adapted screenplay and directing, which prompted Campion to reverberate on the influence of critics during a career that has included one significant Oscar-nominated breakthrough, "The Pianoforte," and other films that often challenged their viewers.
"I've still got some PTSD from critics going back to before in my career," Campion joked as she took the phase. "Ouch! Some very deep wounds."

"Venus and Serena, you're marvels, but you don't accept to compete against the men like I do," Campion said.
The Critics Choice Awards had hoped to wield more influence this season by filling the power vacuum left by the Gilt Globes, which went untelevised this year after several major controversies. But an attempt to move into the Globes' early-Jan berth was scuttled because of the Omicron surge, and the Critics Selection Awards were forced to accept March 13, a appointment when many film nominees would be in London jubilant the EE British Academy Film Awards, or BAFTAs.
Still, BAFTA winners like Troy Kotsur ("CODA") and Ariana DeBose ("W Side Story") showed upwards to merits their Critics Choice supporting role player prizes at a satellite ceremony in London that was patched into the main broadcast.
"Two birds, one stone," Kotsur joked.
The wins for Kotsur, DeBose and Volition Smith, who won the lead actor award for "Male monarch Richard," solidify their position as Oscar front-runners — as they have now each taken acting trophies from the Critics Option, BAFTA and the Screen Actors Guild. And the prove provided significant momentum for the best actress winner Jessica Chastain ("The Eyes of Tammy Faye"), who had also earned a SAG win and now leads a very fluid race.
Though Chastain was not nowadays at the ceremony, Smith was and made the most of his large moment, paying emotional tribute to his guests, the Williams sisters, whose father he plays in "King Richard."
"Thank you for entrusting me with your story," Smith said. "What yous did inspired us all. You lot define the American dream."

Epitome
Jane Campion's "The Power of the Dog" won the prize for best picture at Dominicus's Critics Choice Awards, capping a love affair that critics have had from the start with the Netflix film, which unfolds in tedious, where-is-this-going fashion until a twist ending reveals that Campion has been building a treatise on masculinity and American mythmaking.

Generally speaking, the critics' group has tended to favor the more conventional pick — selecting Quentin Tarantino'due south "Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood" over "Parasite" in 2020, for example.
One exception: Netflix previously won over critics with "Roma," Alfonso Cuarón's black-and-white memoir of growing upwardly in United mexican states City. It lost the 2022 Academy Honour for best picture to "Green Book," Peter Farrelly's segretion-era buddy film.

We won't always be pretty, and we will never be perfect, but what we will be is honest and true, no matter how uncomfortable that makes yous. These are the stories we take to fight to tell, and these are the stories that the earth needs to meet. And so to every petty girl who feels unseen and unheard, this is our way of saying to you, 'Nosotros honey you and we encounter you. And you deserve every skillful matter in this earth.'"
