We’re delighted to share that our Dune team has been honoured with the ‘Best Visual Effects’ Oscar® at tonight’s 94th Academy Awards® ceremony. Our heartfelt congratulations goes out to award winners Paul Lambert, Tristan Myles, Brian Connor and Gerd Nefzer, and to our brilliant global team who poured their hearts into bringing this film to life on-screen.

This is the sixth Academy Award® received by our DNEG teams in the last eight years, and the second time our teams have received an Academy Award® for a collaboration with Denis Villeneuve, following our 2018 ‘Best Visual Effects’ Oscar® win for Blade Runner 2049.

We couldn’t be prouder to have helped bring Denis’ vision to the screen once again, and a huge congratulations to the entire Dune team on their 6 Oscars® received tonight for Best Visual Effects, Best Sound, Best Production Design, Best Original Score, Best Film Editing and Best Cinematography!

This also marks the third Academy Award® win for Production VFX Supervisor Paul Lambert, who previously took home the honour for Blade Runner 2049 and First Man, and the second Oscar® win for DNEG VFX Supervisor Tristan Myles who also won previously for First Man.
