Jane Campion just made more history at the 2022 Academy Awards!

The Power of the Dog director picked up the Best Director statuette for the film, making her the third woman ever to win the prestigious award.

Jane‘s win also marks the first time that the trophy was one by a woman two years in a row. Chloe Zhao won last year’s honor for Nomadland.

She started her acceptance speech in Maori, before giving “big love to my fellow nominees. I love you all, you’re all so extraordinary talented.”

“I love directing because it’s a deep dive into story, yet the task of manifesting can be overwhelming. Thankfully, I’m not alone,” Jane added. “Thank you, Academy, it’s a lifetime honor.”
