2021’sDuneperformed incredibly well with Academy Awards voters, as it received 10 nominations and won six Oscars.
That put some pressure onDune: Part Twoto do just as well, if not better.
Ultimately,Dune 2’s Oscars performance on nomination morning may have come across as a disappointment.
However, none of their immediate sequels got recognized in the category.
It joins a very different club instead.
BeforeDunejoined the club, James Cameron’sAvatarwas the most recent addition.
There have only been twosequels to win Best Picturein Oscar history.
In other words,The Godfather Part IIis the only second installment of a franchise to win Best Picture.
That mindset and the state of the Best Picture race indicateDune 2won’t win Best Picture at the2025 Oscars.
