Italian writer-director Lina
Wertmuller, 91, received an Oscar for lifetime achievement on
Sunday in Los Angeles.
Greta Gerwig and Jane Campion presented the Oscar to
Wertmuller, who in 1976 became the first woman ever to be
nominated for a Best Director Oscar.
Isabella Rossellini and Sofia Loren went onstage to honour
Wertmuller, who was accompanied by her daughter Maria Zulima
Job.
"Why Oscar? Let's call it Anna," Wertmuller said jokingly of
the statue.
