Dark Western 'The Power of the Dog'&nbsp;is expected to seal its winning streak at Sunday's Academy Awards but 'CODA', a coming-of-age story about the only hearing member of a deaf family, is closing in for the best film prize, according to bookmakers. 
 
Set on a 1920s Montana ranch, 'The Power of the Dog'&nbsp;has already scooped trophies this awards season including best film and director for Jane Campion at the British Academy Film Awards. 
 
It has 12 Oscar nominations including for Campion and star Benedict Cumberbatch in the best directing and leading actor categories respectively. 
 
However, 'CODA'&nbsp;has also triumphed, claiming the top honours from the Producers Guild and Screen Actors Guild. 
 
"If you'd asked us a week ago, 'The Power of the Dog'&nbsp;would have been pretty much a shoo-in to win...but such was the success of 'CODA'&nbsp;at the Producers Guild of America Awards last weekend...a lot of punters have jumped on 'CODA'," Alex Apati, PR Manager at bookmaker Ladbrokes, told Reuters. 
 
"It was 12/1 at the start of the month and it`s now as short as 11/10. So it's pretty much a two-horse race." 
 
He added that in the last four years, the best picture winners had been second favourites. 
 
Bookmaker Paddy Power has odds of 8/11 for 'The Power of the Dog'&nbsp;followed by 'CODA'&nbsp;with 11/10.

Campion is the first woman to be nominated twice for best director and has been the frontrunner to win after picking up numerous awards already. 
 
Ladbrokes have odds of 1/25 for her while Paddy Power has 1/40. 
 
Will Smith is the favourite to win the best actor for playing the father of tennis champions Venus and Serena Williams in 'King Richard'. 
 
"He's 1/8, a massive odds on favourite," Apati said. "It finally looks like it`s going to be Will Smith's time." 
 
Less clear is the leading actress category where past winners Nicole Kidman, Olivia Colman and Penelope Cruz will compete against Jessica Chastain and Kristen Stewart. 
 
"(This category) is probably going to be the closest race," Apati said. Chastain, nominated for 'The Eyes of Tammy Faye', is leading with odds of 8/11. 
 
Japanese movie 'Drive My Car'&nbsp;is seen as the frontrunner for international feature film.

'The Power of the Dog' or 'CODA'? The bets are on ahead of Oscars

'The Power of the Dog' director Jane Champion made a controversial comment at the 2022 Critics Choice Awards. 
 
While accepting the best director prize at the event, Champion honoured every woman present in the room and talked about how male-dominated the industry is, but singled out tennis superstars Venus and Serena Williams. 
 
“It’s absolutely stunning tonight to be here among so many incredible women,” the 'Power of the Dog' helmer started her speech for best director.

''I’d also just like to give my love out to my fellow — the guys. And Serena and Venus, you are such marvels. However, you do not play against the guys, like I have to,” she said. 
 
However, later Champion apologized for a “thoughtless comment” she made toward tennis legends that stirred up backlash online. 
 
“I made a thoughtless comment equating what I do in the film world with all that Serena Williams and Venus Williams have achieved. I did not intend to devalue these two legendary Black women and world-class athletes,” she said in a statement to THR.&nbsp;

“The fact is the Williams sisters have, actually, squared off against men on the court (and off), and they have both raised the bar and opened doors for what is possible for women in this world. The last thing I would ever want to do is minimize remarkable women. I love Serena and Venus. Their accomplishments are titanic and inspiring. Serena and Venus, I apologize and completely celebrate you.”

Will Smith scooped the best actor prize for his portrayal of the Williams sisters' father and tennis coach in "King Richard", while Britain's Joanna Scanlan won the best actress for her widow's role in drama "After Love".

The star of "The Power of the Dog", Benedict Cumberbatch, accepted the best director award on behalf of Campion, the day after she won the Directors Guild of America's top prize for her film about the toxic masculinity of sexually repressed cowboys.

New Zealander Campion appeared on a video call after the ceremony, telling journalists that she was "speechless" to win the UK's best film award.

Producer Tanya Seghatchian paid tribute to Campion, hailing "a visionary whose trail has blazed through the last 30 years of cinema".

The film is now a front runner for the best movie award at the Oscars to be held in Los Angeles on March 27.

- Tributes to Ukraine -

Opening the ceremony amid Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine, BAFTA chair Krishnendu Majumdar said the invasion had "shocked the world with images and stories detailing a truly horrific and heartbreaking situation".&nbsp;

Film academies across Europe stood in solidarity with Ukraine and "we share the hope for the return to peace", he said.

Several actors on the BAFTA red carpet wore blue and yellow badges in solidarity with Ukraine, including Cumberbatch who said he was "doing what he can" to host refugees after an appeal from the British government.

Despite the world's sombre mood over Moscow's ongoing onslaught, Sunday's awards were a celebration of&nbsp;freedom of a different kind as they were held in person for the first time since Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns.

The evening's host, Australian actress Rebel Wilson, presented a singing performance by Britain's Emilia Jones, who played a child of deaf adults in "CODA" and was vying for the best actress prize.

Her performance was simultaneously signed on stage in British and US sign language.

"Luckily though, in all sign languages, this is the gesture for (Russian President Vladimir) Putin," Wilson said, raising her middle finger.

Presenting the prize for Best director, Andy Serkis took a swipe at Britain's Home Secretary Priti Patel and her handling of the Ukrainian refugee crisis.

Serkis said Patel's latest movie "all refugees are welcome, but some are more welcome than others, is a complete nightmare".

- Dune scoops five -

Despite not winning the top prizes, Villeneuve's "Dune" won for special effects, cinematography, sound, score and production design.&nbsp;

Accepting the best actress prize for her role as Mary Hussain, a widow who discovers her late husband has a secret family, Scanlan said the film took "extreme love, blood, sweat and tears".

US actress and singer Ariana Debose won the award for best supporting actress for her role in Steven Spielberg's "West Side Story" remake, confessing to the audience that "I speak dance better than I speak English". &nbsp;

Troy Kotsur won the best supporting actor prize for his role as the deaf Massachusetts fisherman father of Jones's singing high school student in "Coda", accepting his prize in sign language.

He joked about the event's celebration of the James Bond franchise's 60th anniversary, asking in sign language "have you maybe considered a deaf Bond, 008?"

"Coda" director Sian Heder won the award for best adapted screenplay, paying homage to the deaf community who "shared their stories with me and trusted me".&nbsp;

Japan's Ryusuke Hamaguchi won the award best film not in the English language for "Drive My Car", adapted from a Haruki Murakami's short story, saying "well that got rid of my jet lag" as he accepted the prize.

"That's the power of film, they go beyond language, they go beyond borders. That really is the power of film," Hamaguchi said.

Kenneth Branagh won the award for outstanding British film for his semi-autobiographical "Belfast" about ethnic strife in late 1960s Northern Ireland, paying tribute to cinema going audiences in the age of Netflix.

"All hail the streaming revolution but all hail the big screen too, it's alive! And long may they live together."

Benedict Cumberbatch starrer 'The Power of the Dog' picks up Best Film at New York Film Critics

Clinking of silverware in an expansive ranch, thudding of cowboy boots and an overbearing presence of a hyper-macho Phil (Benedict Cumberbatch) casts a foreboding shadow on the Burbank household. The setting is 1925 and the mood, perpetually, of forbidden desires and suppressed emotions. In Phil's complex world, a man exhibiting even a shred of vulnerability gets labelled as 'half-cooked Miss Nancy'. Perhaps, this is why his brother George (Jesse Plemons) despises his tough, foul mouthed elder brother so much so that he doesn't pass up on the chance to marry the 'cheap schemer' widow, Rose (Kirsten Dunst), Phil ungracefully loathes.&nbsp;

<img alt="Benedict Cumberbatch is a menacing presence in 'The Power of the Dog'" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a279b438-4624-4c0e-90cf-11ebf9fd397a" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/pjimage%20-%202021-12-02T151530.262.jpg" /> 
For the world outside, Phil embodies 1920s machismo typical of the Western stretch during that era: where pianists tremble with fear upon his single glare, maids hurdle up in one corner on&nbsp;his arrival and nobody, not even the 'fatso' younger brother he seems to love, challenges his rugged and hillbilly habits.&nbsp;

Through mere body language, Jane Campion (director) makes the demarcation clear to her viewers: Phil is the epitome&nbsp;of masculinity and George, a prop for Phil to impose his twisted ideologies on. The ones&nbsp;that were introduced to him at a tender age by 'friend and greatest cowboy of all time', Bronco Henry: a character we never meet in person but know of his grip over the brothers--for various reasons--only through dialogues.&nbsp;

 
Jane Campion's slowburner is a house of secrets, with heightened drama rendered by a stupendous Jonny Greenwood's background score.

However, Phil's authority is questioned by a lanky, sensitive sissy Peter (Kodi Smit-McPhee, Rose's son) who is everything he&nbsp;is not: kind, artistic and a visionary of sorts.&nbsp;

<img alt="A revelation: Kodi Smit-McPhee as kind and sensitive Peter" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="eb0b0773-d70c-46bb-87c5-60b88e7b43d4" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/pjimage%20-%202021-12-02T151640.725.jpg" /> 
Campion, who has always&nbsp;been pro-female protagonist, makes an exception with this namesake adaptation of Thomas Savage’s 1967 novel: instead of a female character learning to find her feet in a male-dominated world, Campion lets Cumberbatch sweep us all with his toxic bravado while the layers of sentimentality are saved up for his most private moments. Campion juxtaposes Phil's persona against Peter's, with sexual tension galore and emotional baggage serving as the common component for them to bond over. 'The Power of the Dog' personifies unrealized dreams: Phil, like Bronco, wanted to be a mentor to a rather disappointing George. In Peter, he sees a glimmer of hope for the revival of that mentor-mentee relationship that he has always hankered after. Little did he know, Peter would crack open an array of emotions within him.

'The Power of the Dog' is 2021's visual masterpiece--with Campion winning the Venice Film Festival's Silver Lion for Best Director--as&nbsp;cinematographer Ari Wegner captures the anger, loneliness and complexity of the characters in her camera that leaves one gasping for breath. The ranch life, too, never looked so glamourous and tempting: every flip of a horse's tail is a story in itself.&nbsp;

<img alt="Kirsten Dunst evokes empathy as troubled Rose" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="40f3e6c1-7644-4318-b901-00da1dd43198" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/pjimage%20-%202021-12-02T151605.090.jpg" /> 
Kirsten Dunst, as Rose, is drowning in alcoholism and unresolved issues and the actor internalizes her trauma with mastery. Her on-as-well-as-off-screen partner Jesse Plemons displays a plethora of emotions solely through his expressions: a quality Plemons has forever been appreciated for. The secret weapon in this sinister Western saga, however, is Kodi Smit-McPhee. You don't know what hits you once he is on frame. Like Phil, Kodi&nbsp;wraps his audience around his finger and there one stays till the very end.

Dark, desolate, disturbing and ominous are some of the apt adjectives for delineating Jane Campion's comeback film--yes, this is her first directorial venture after a hiatus of 12 years--and she unleashes ruthlessness of the central figure through an actor we did not know could do mean so exquisitely: Benedict 'marvelous' Cumberbatch.&nbsp;

The Power of the Dog review: Benedict Cumberbatch's a marvelous old, lonely ranch man

In an interview with The New York Times, Hollywood actress Kirsten Dunst revealed that she has given birth to her second son with partner and fellow actor Jesse Plemons.&nbsp;

 
“This is the newest guy, the Big Kahuna. He’s an angel, but he’s a hungry angel. And a heavy angel,” Dunst said. She also shared that the baby boy, who the couple has named James Robert.

 
“I’m so tired, I haven’t slept through the night in four months. I’ve developed an eye twitch, too. Yeah, I’m in a really special place," she added.&nbsp;

 
The news of Dunst' pregnancy was first revealed to a magazine by the actress as part of a cover story in March.&nbsp;

&nbsp; 
“I feel very sensitive about representation, diversity, and inclusion,” Cumberbatch said at the Telluride Film Festival, as per reports. “One of the appeals of the job was the idea that in this world, with this specific character, there was a lot that was private, hidden from view.” 
 
“It wasn’t done without thought,” he said. “I also feel slightly like, is this a thing where our dance card has to be public? Do we have to explain all our private moments in our sexual history? I don’t think so.” He added.&nbsp; 
 
Further talking, Benedict added, “Jane (director) chose us as actors to play those roles. That’s her question to answer.” 
 
This is not the first time when Marvel star is playing a queer character, before this, the actor has played a gay man --&nbsp;portraying Alan Turing in 'The Imitation Game.

The 25-year-old McPhee is also a straight man, said that there's a lot he relates with the role of Peter, and added, “I would say that there’s a lot in Peter that I relate to,” Smit-McPhee said. “Sure, I’m a straight man, but I’m extremely in touch with my feminine side. I was raised by my mother and my sister. Of course, my dad has a huge masculine influence on my life but he could never really take me away from the feminine side that I just intrinsically have in myself. It was just a matter of bringing it out… and letting it be in the world. It was a really experimental but beautiful thing to do.” 
 
The movie will be released in theatres on Nov. 17 and then hits Netflix on Dec. 1.
