Mary Parent, Cale Boyter, and director Denis Villeneuve are the producers listed as the nominees representing the hit science-fiction epic.
Meanwhile, the hit MCU series WandaVision earned a nomination for Best Limited Series Television where it will be competing with other shows such as Dopesick, Mare of Easttown, The Underground Railroad, and The White Lotus. It is still undetermined which producers of the series will be representing the nomination.
In the Best Animated Motion Picture category, Encanto, Luca, The Mitchell vs. The Machines, Raya and the Last Dragon, and Sing 2 are the nominees who are competing in that field. The Best Episodic Television - Drama category will see shows such as The Handmaid's Tale, The Morning Show, Squid Game, Succession, and Yellowstone competing for the prize while the Comedy category has Cobra Kai, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Hacks, Only Murders in the Building, and Ted Lasso as the nominees.
It is impressive to see that Dune and WandaVision continue to get more awards recognition during this season as it just proves that the industry loves them and it speaks about their quality especially since it is not common to see genre films and TV shows get major recognitions. Whether will eventually win or not, getting this nomination is already a huge honor.
