Oscars 2022 Review: 7 Ups & 8 Downs

Ups...

7. Dune Cleans Up In The Technical Categories

Though CODA won Best Picture, the true big winner of the night was Dune, which won the most awards of the show with an impressive six - that's three more than second-place, CODA.

Denis Villeneuve's gorgeously mounted sci-fi film unsurprisingly mopped the floor with most of the technical and crafts categories, winning Oscars for Original Score, Sound, Film Editing, Cinematography, Production Design, and Visual Effects.

It's tough to argue with any of these wins, really, no matter what you might make of Dune as a piece of storytelling. Now we wait to see if Villeneuve can repeat or even exceed this success with the impending sequel.
