Dame Jane Campion has dominated awards season once again, with 12 Oscar nominations for her western The Power of the Dog.

She's blitzing the world stage both as a New Zealander and a woman, being the first woman to be nominated more than once for best director in the award's 94-year history.

Hot on the heels of her western film in the number of nominations is Dune with ten, followed by Belfast and West Side Story, with seven each.

They're all vying for the top gong too - the best picture.
