Six awards went to DUNE, including: Cinematography, Best Film Editing, Best Visual Effects, Best Production Design, Best Production, Best Original Score, and Best Soundtrack.

It is interesting that Dune beat even Spider-man: No Way Home to win the Best Visual Effects award - the only nomination that the Marvel Studios film got this year. No Way Home was a huge commercial success with box office revenue of $1.888 billion while Dune hit $400 million.

Dune is directed by Villeneuve, based on the fantasy novel of the same name by Herbert. The film outlines the power struggle between the Houses on the sandy planet Arrakis, home to the rare spice, giant sandworms and the mystical Freeman natives.

Timothee Chalamet, the actor who played Paul in Dune, appeared on the red carpet ahead of the Oscars in just a Lois Vutton jacket without a shirt underneath. Usually, people will wear it with a shirt or pullover.

"He wore something but it was still topless"

Many people are skeptical of this design being womenswear.

However, the actor born in 1995 is still in the top of the best dressed stars at Oscar 2022 voted by leading entertainment magazines.

At the 2018 Oscars, the fan-favorite Timothee Chalamet received a nomination for Best Actor for his role as Elio in the romantic gay film Call Me By Your Name, but did not win.
