The 2nd Annual Sunset Circle Awards were swept by “Dune.” Almost everything it as nominated for, it won, apart from Best Supporting Actress (Rebecca Ferguson). That means “Dune” won Best Film, Best Director, Best Ensemble, Best Cinematography, Best Score, and Scene Stealer. Also, she might only have one win so far, but I feel a Kristen Stewart Oscar win this year.
