ICYMI, here was what douche bag galore Sam Elliott had to say about likely Best Picture winner The Power Of The Dog during a podcast interview earlier this month:

I finally saw TPOTD last week and, while I appreciated its craftsmanship more than I actually liked it, the movie has really stuck with me and I can’t stop thinking about it, so it’s probably a lot better than I initially thought.

Here was director Jane Campion last night at the DGAs (where she took home Best Director for the film), totally demolishing Sam Elliott. Even worse than calling him a bitch, her most brutal burn is when she reminds us that Elliott isn’t a cowboy, he’s an actor:

Jane Campion responds to Sam Elliott’s #ThePowerOfTheDog comments: “I’m sorry, he was being a little bit of a B-I-T-C-H. He’s not a cowboy; he’s an actor. The West is a mythic space and there’s a lot of room on the range. I think it’s a little bit sexist.” https://t.co/I32wQ8lCiF pic.twitter.com/Tftq4AoXCy
