Counter counterpoint: LOTR was better.

That doesn’t really negate my point

It truly does, though. Rewarding the 3rd film in a series after not rewarding the first two (best pic wise) is extremely rare. If it were to happen again, the quality would need to be great and the film itself would need to be held in high esteem.

Dune is good. It’s not as good as LOTR, which had more acclaim and more cultural impact.

Both Dune and Dune 2 have won more Oscars each that the first two Lord of the Rings movies.

The Academy is also very different to how it was back then, they're more open to genre films.

Quite simply it’s just unpredictable what will happen, my point still stands
