Villeneuve’s sprawling sci-fi epic “Dune” is among the leading contenders overall with 10 nods, including nominations for Villeneuve in the best adapted screenplay and best picture categories.

The National Film Board co-production “Affairs of the Art” was nominated for best animated short while Nova Scotia’s Ben Proudfoot and his film “The Queen of Basketball” was nominated for best documentary short subject.
Villeneuve’s “Dune” also received nominations for best score, best cinematography, and more.
