Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic scored a hefty 6 wins.
Dune crowned its hugely successful awards season run with a bevy of gold statues; Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic was the evening’s big winner, taking home six Oscars including Best Visual Effects, Cinematography, Film Editing, Production Design, Original Score, and Sound.
That coveted VFX Oscar went to Paul Lambert, Tristan Myles, Brian Connor, and Gerd Nefzer. The win was Lambert’s third (he previously won for First Man and Blade Runner 2049), the second for Myles (also a winner for First Man) and Nefzer (a winner for Blade Runner 2049) and first for Connor. The four also won, among other recent awards, this year’s BAFTA for Best Achievement in Special Effects.
“What an amazing evening,” Lambert shared. “Congratulations to all the VFX facilities involved but a special thank you to the team at Wylie Co. The creativity and technical know how of everybody involved really made the post production on Dune seamless. Can’t wait to do it again!!”
