"Dune" is a 2021 science fiction film directed by Denis Villeneuve and adapted from Frank Herbert's novel of the same name. 

The film has received several Academy Award nominations and wins, which is a remarkable achievement for a sci-fi film, given the Academy's historical reluctance to recognize the genre.

It's worth noting that sci-fi films have traditionally struggled to gain recognition from the Academy. The genre has often been seen as lowbrow and lacking in artistic merit, with few exceptions. Despite this, "Dune" managed to receive several nominations and six wins, which is a testament to the film's quality and the skill of its cast and crew.

Furthermore, it may signal a potential shift in the Academy's attitudes towards sci-fi films, and we may see more recognition for the genre in the future.
