Winning all but one of its 8 nominations, The Power of the Dog absolutely dominated this year’s Chicago Film Critics awards. Not much else to say here, but it looks like Jane Campion’s film is heading towards a solid run through the precursors towards at least Campion’s win of Best Directing at the Oscars if nothing else.
