     by RUSSELL BAILLIE

    In the likely event that Dame Jane Campion lassos her second – and possibly a third and fourth – Academy Award on March 28 New Zealand time, it will mark more than yet another career milestone for the film-maker. It will also mark the end of a victory lap for her The Power of the Dog, which is up for 11 Oscars, with Campion nominated for best adapted screenplay, best director and best picture.

    Of those, she’s almost assured of winning best director – she’s won almost every best director trophy of the pre-Oscar awards runup, including a Bafta, Golden Globe and a Directors’ Guild of America award.

    She was last took three Oscars – one for her (best original screenplay) and for actresses Holly Hunter and the then 11-year-old Anna Paquin.
