Director Jane Campion Hit Back At Sam Elliott For His "Sexist" Comments About "The Power Of The Dog" - BuzzFeed News

New Zealand director Jane Campion took home the top prize at Saturday night's Directors Guild of America Awards in Beverly Hills, just the latest signal that her film The Power of the Dog is heading toward an Oscar.

But Campion also appeared to appreciate the opportunity to hit back at the headline-grabbing comments made last month by Sam Elliott, calling the actor a "B-I-T-C-H" for his criticism that her Western movie is too full of homosexual allusions.

Elliott, the deep-voiced actor known for his roles in Tombstone, The Big Lebowski, and A Star Is Born, appeared on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast last month and called The Power of the Dog a "piece of shit."

"They made it look like — what are all those dancers, those guys in New York that wear bowties and not much else? Remember them from back in the day?” Elliott said, referring to the Chippendales troupe.

“That’s what all these fucking cowboys in that movie looked like, running around in chaps and no shirts. There were all these allusions to homosexuality throughout the fucking movie," he said.

Entertainment it was a "little tough" during the film’s hiatus. But when he returned to filming after two months in rehab he was "fabulous."

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people. Directed by Olivia Newman ( First Match ), the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel of the same name tells the remarkable tale of a shy, reclusive girl raised in the marshes of North Carolina who finds herself embroiled in a grisly police investigation. Her name is Kya ( Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People , Fresh and Under the Banner of Heaven ), but to those in the neighboring town, whose residents abhor her, she is known simply as “Marsh Girl.” The account of her
