This year’s Academy Awards had a diverse list of nominations, ranging from Best Picture to Best Makeup & Hairstyling. From a dystopian journey across the desert to a Japanese version of a Haruki Murakami short story, a Chekov play, and the first film with an all deaf cast competing in the night’s major categories, there’s something for everyone.
Dune got off to a strong start, winning several of the night’s initial prizes, including Hans Zimmer’s first Academy Award since winning for The Lion King in 2005.
