Denis Villeneuve's Dune may not be a frontrunner for the Oscars, but it's a hit on Letterboxd, the movie-logging app. Dune topped the app's annual list, earning the highest rating, most popular film, and other accolades. The film's director, Denis Villeneuve, expressed his satisfaction with the recognition.

Oscar chances seem as D.O.A. as the trees on Arrakis. The film didn’t win a single Golden Globe, and Denis Villeneuve was just out of the DGA Award nominations entirely. At least it’s getting some deserved shine over at Letterboxd . The movie-logging app, which now boasts some 17 million users, released its annual list.

Dune was officially the app’s highest rated film, most popular film, highest rated action/adventure, highest rated science fiction, highest rated North American film, and most obsessively rewatched film. (Although the dude who watched it like 100 times on that last one.) The Timothée Chalamet-led epic is currently sitting at an average of 4.4 stars across nearly 2.4 million logs. “I’m gonna sleep well tonight,” Villeneuve said in a statement in response. At least he has something to post on his fridge from this season. (which also landed highest rated directorial debut). This doesn’t really clear up anything about this year’s wildly open-ended Oscar race, but it’s still fun to dive into the opinions of a more egalitarian voting body.
