Denis Villeneuve's Oscars snub shows the Academy still doesn't take sci-fi seriously

  • Denis Villeneuve was not nominated for Best Director for Dune, despite the film's technical achievements and his adaptation skills, as reported in the headline.
  • The Academy Awards have only recognized sci-fi filmmakers once for Best Director, which highlights the genre's lack of serious consideration by the Academy.
  • Josh Brolin congratulated Dune on its five nominations, stating he would quit acting if Villeneuve was not nominated, indicating strong support for the director.
  • Dune: Part Two's Best Picture nomination feels like a way to appease audiences without genuinely recognizing the film in major categories, according to the text.
