oscars. the academy didn't respond to a request for information on what they're planning to do at the ceremony to ukraine, if anything, but it needs to get its messaging right. the oscars is on a slippery slope, losing its cultural relevance in a way that hasn't quite hit home. last year, it got its lowest ratings ever. it can't afford to be out of touch with the cultural zeitgeist at a time of war. going into the oscars, new zealand film—maker jane campion�*s western psychological drama, the power of the dog, which portrays a mean—spirited, misogynist rancher, played by benedict cumberbatch, was the oscars frontrunner with 12 nominations. but how will this acclaimed, masterful epic fare at the ceremony? will it take home the top oscar trophies? well, emma jones has been finding out. open up the gate. let him out. you sure? he's not ready. go on. let him out. emma: no toothless hound... he'sjust a man, peter. ..the power of the dog has 12 oscar nominations. only another man. the movie and its new zealand—born director, jane campion, has devoured this awards season, taking prizes for best direc
