Jane Campion winning Best Original Screenplay for "The Piano"

Jeremy Irons presenting Jane Campion with the Oscar® for Best Original Screenplay for "The Piano" at the 66th Academy Awards in 1994. Hosted by Whoopi Goldberg.

If it wasn't for Schindler's List, The Piano would've taken home all of the big awards. Such a work of art.

[@DoctorXander]

gain al I didn't love the movie but I would definitely have given it best cinematography and score in any other year

[@aqualcunopiaceclassico3201]

Well, it deserved even with shindler nominated. And the remains of the day too.

Schindler's list is manipulating on people's emotions through history and tragedy, while The Piano is the pure work of art

[@BenRussell]

One of the most unorthodox, interesting, most beautiful films I've ever seen. Such a well deserved award!

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

Extremely well deserved, The Piano was a complete art

[@meerabose8314]

She should have won best director that year. The film was an exquisite work of art, and Campion has such a individualistic artistic voice, she is so underrated. But then again, any narrative that's alternate and unorthodox , becomes niche. She is one of the best filmmakers of our times, Top of the Lake only substantiates the fact that she is supremely talented.

Michael Nyman was criminally overlooked for his iconic score. Glad she gave him a shout out!

[@milesbrad9975]

Losing to anything from Schindler's List isn't really a loss though. I loved Michael Nyman's score so much, but John Williams earned his win

[@jochenstossberg5427]

Watching it today, you're praying that the relentless music score will stop. It's worse than Dr. Zhivago in that regard, which suffers the same fate today.

[@RobertoLorenzPianist]

She may have lost direction but still a great reward for Campion and the fact Hunter and Paquin could join her as winners that night was even better, a great achievement.

My guess is since that shows the very old and very sad Bette Davis appearance that they will NOT upload it. It does her memory no good.

[@mattbernabe]

If Jane wasn't up against Steven Spielberg for Best Director, I wish she would have won. In fact, if The Piano wasn't up against Schindler's List, I would have wanted it to win Best Picture, Best Cinematography and Editing. Wish Michael Nyman got nominated for his breathtaking, haunting and beautiful score for the film.

Sorry, but I frankly think “Philadelphia” should’ve won. Or at least they could do a tie-win between that two.

The piano would sink into the sand right? And after a voyage from one side of the world to another, it's highly unlikely it would be immediately playable. Right again. Charlton Heston was right about this one.

[@landonle3308]

i agree with the TheTerryE, she does this in every of her films and even the miniseries top of the lake( supposedly her comeback to fame). All her movies have stories that makes no sense when you actually think about it or is stupid. She's a great director but a bad screenwriter. Not every director are meant to be screenwriters.

[@MrMcsia]

Tell me ONE point "The Piano" doesn't makes sense. It's like a piece of poetry, subtly constructed over a brilliant second dimension. One of the best screenplays ever.

[@TheTerryE]

You're entitled to your opinion but as someone who has taught film in a major university for years I have never encountered a single person who liked the film. Campion also took one of the greatest books ever written -- James' Portrait of a Lady -- and turned it into a complete unwatchable mess that showed she was clueless what the book was even about. The world of film could do without Jane Campion.
