Dune (2021) at the Oscars

[R6GYY]

A triumph in the technical Oscars, scoring 6, including one I hoped it might get - Cinematography. It was beautiful to behold.

Anyhow, for anyone interested . . .

• Best Visual Effects
• Best Original Score
• Best Cinematography
• Best Film Editing
• Best Production Design
• Best Sound

Well deserved.

I note Denis Villeneuve has been nominated for some major awards without winning any -that must change at some point, as in my opinion he's established himself as one of the 21 century's most formidably gifted directors.

and Hitchcock never won a best director award, which I find very strange.

Yes, likewise David Lynch, although he did receive an Honorary Oscar in 2019 at a separate ceremony.

His entire acceptance speech was:

"To the Academy and everyone who helped me along the way, thanks.  (To the statue): You have a very nice face.

Good night".

This is great because David Lynch Directed the first Dune film.
