Director Called Sam Elliott ‘A Little Bit Of A B****.’ Then She Whined She Has It Harder Than 2 Black Tennis Stars.

 “Power of the Dog” director Jane Campion, who said actor Sam Elliott was “being a little bit of a b****” after he criticized her Western film for its homosexual themes, did some moaning of her own after winning the Best Director award at the Critics Choice Awards on Sunday night, whining at iconic tennis stars Serena and Venus Williams, “You don’t play against the guys, like I have to.”

Campion was the only woman nominated in her category.Speaking on Marc Maron’s “WTF Podcast,” Elliott, who currently stars in “1883” and whose long list of classic portrayals of rugged men in Westerns includes his legendary performance as Virgil Earp in the iconic “Tombstone,” said of the Netflix movie starring Benedict Cumberbatch, “You want to talk about that piece of s***?”

The exchange went like this:Elliott: Well, it’s not the biggest issue, but for me it was the only issue because there was so much of it. I mean, Cumberbatch never got out of his f***ing chaps. He had two pairs of chaps — a woolly pair and a leather pair. And every f***ing time he would walk in from somewhere — I don’t know where in the f*** — he never was on a horse, maybe once — he’d walk into the f***ing house, storm up the f***ing stairs, go lay in his bed in his chaps and play his banjo.  It’s like, what the f***? What the f***? Where’s the Western? Where’s the Western in this Western?
