My heartfelt thanks goes out to my amazing crew who tirelessly stood by me every step of the way. Thank you.”

This marks Fraser’s second Academy Award nomination, previously considered for Best Cinematography for his work on Lion (2016). Commenting on the nomination, he said: “Working with Denis Villeneuve and the entire cast and crew of Dune is an honour that often only happens once in a lifetime. Frank Herbert’s story resonates with so many readers worldwide and I can’t think of a better team of artists to have made this interpretation of his legendary words. Warner Brothers and Legendary Films have supported our aesthetic vision from day one and to now be recognized by our colleagues with this nomination is the icing on the cake!”
