I realize neither of these movies are out yet, but after how unbelievably low the ratings for the most recent Academy Awards were, I’m thinking they’re going to want to have a big studio blockbuster as a serious awards contender for next year and I’m thinking the two big contenders for this year will probably be Dune and Eternals.

Too early to say. I went with Dune because it has the pedigree, but I can easily see it flopping - this is not an easy novel to adapt.
Eternals, I must admit, sounds at least more interesting than most superhero movies but it’s still representing a genre that typically struggles for recognition on that level.

Tech nominations are all either can hope for.

Can't see an MCU movie generating much Oscar buzz. It'll be Dune, regardless of quality.

Members of academy don't care about ratings, otherwise loud movies like Endgame would be nominated , if movies are super woke they have a chance in a weak year

Let's just say I doubt Eternals will garner the same type of attention as Black Panther did. Oh, it'll be popular and hyped no doubt, but in a manner more reminiscent of your typical MCU instalment. I wouldn't expect any serious Oscar buzz for this one.

I want to say Dune but Eternals will probably make the most money at the box office and thus get more people talking.

Reviews for Eternals have been kinda meh. Dune is definitely proving to be the bigger 'event' film.

Dune should win best effects and cinematography.
