On Tuesday, the director was nominated for an Oscar for the second best director of his career, entering the history books in the process.
Campion, who was nominated for her film "Power of the Dog", is the first woman to be nominated twice in this category. His first nomination was for the 1993 film "The Piano". That same year, he won an Oscar for Best Screenplay for the same movie.
When Campion received her first nomination, she was the second woman nominated in this category. The first was Lina Wartmারller, nominated for "Seven Beauties" in 1976.
In recent years, the women's section has been better represented. Last year for the first time two women – Emerald Fennell ("Promising Young") and Chloe Zhao ("Nomadland") and were nominated in the same year's category. Zhao finally took the trophy home.
Other women nominated in this category include Sophia Coppola ("Lost in Translation"), Greta Garwig ("Lady Bird of 2017") and Katherine Bigelow ("The Heart Locker"), the first woman to win the Best Director of All Time.
This year, the champions will face Kenneth Branagh ("Belfast"), Risuke Hamaguchi ("Drive My Car"), Paul Thomas Anderson ("Licoris Pizza") and Steven Spielberg ("West Side Story") in the Champions category.
Spielberg had previously beaten Campion in this category in 1994 with his victory for the "Schindler's List".
