Dune: Part Two has made history by becoming the first science fiction film to receive two Best Picture nominations at the Oscars, following its predecessor, Dune: Part One. Despite the nomination, science fiction films rarely win this category, with only 15 ever nominated historically. The film represents the adaptation of the remainder of Frank Herbert's novel, creating a unique scenario where a story is recognized in two distinct parts, further emphasizing the rarity of such nominations in a genre typically overlooked by the Academy Awards.
Dune: Part Two's nomination marks a historic first, being the first time the same sci-fi story has been nominated for Best Picture twice.
Despite the nomination for Best Picture, history suggests that sci-fi films face significant odds, as demonstrated by Star Wars losing to Annie Hall.
