Jane Campion makes cringey comment about Serena and Venus Williams | Page Six Celebrity News

Jane Campion raised eyebrows at the 2022 Critics Choice Awards with a painfully awkward joke comparing herself to Serena and Venus Williams. While accepting Best Director for “The Power of the Dog” at Sunday’s ceremony, Campion went out of her way to note that she was competing against five men, a situation she claimed the Williams sisters would never find themselves in on the tennis court. “I’d also just like to give my love out to my fellow — the guys, the nominees,” she said with a laugh, referring to Paul Thomas Anderson (“Licorice Pizza”), Kenneth Branagh (“Belfast”), Guillermo del Toro (“Nightmare Alley”), Steven Spielberg (“West Side Story”) and Denis Villeneuve (“Dune”). #JaneCampion #SerenaWilliams #VenusWilliams Page Six is your source for celebrity news, gossip, entertainment, pop culture, photos, video and more.
