Jane Campion did quite well this weekend with her The Power of the Dog winning best film at both the Directors Guild of America Awards and the British Academy Film Awards, and her best director at the BAFTAs.
Dune missed out on best film at the DGAs but cleaned up at the BAFTAs with five wins - cinematography, original score, production design, sound and special visual effects - out of eleven nominations.

A welcome sight in the newstream this morning is a small avalanche of articles whose titles declare Dune leading the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) award nominations.
Dune received an impressive eleven nominations out of a total of twenty-five categories.
Rotten Tomatoes have published their 2021 Golden Tomato Awards - which are awarded based on critic review scores - and sci-fi fared moderately well at the winner level but less so in ranked listings of runners up, except for Best New Series and Best Animated series.
Interestingly RT also give the public the opportunity to vote for their favourites which will be announced on January 31.
