Jane Campion`s revisionist Western, `The Power of the Dog`, topped the Oscars nominations list with 12 nods, but the helmer of the sci-fi flick, `Dune`, which followed with 10 noms, wasn`t as fortunate as the Kiwi director. `Dune` director Denis Villeneuve did not make the cut for Best Director.
Campion made history by becoming the first woman to be nominated twice for Best Director, but she`s up against the formidable Steven Spielberg, who landed his eighth nomination for `West Side Story`, and Kenneth Branagh (`Belfast`), who became the first artiste in Oscars history to establish a lifetime record of notching up seven nominations in seven different categories.
