The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences has released the shortlists for 10 categories in the Oscars race for 2024, and “Dune: Part Two” and “Wicked” have landed on the shortlists for Makeup and Hairstyling, Visual Effects and Sound.

At last year’s shortlist announcement, only “Napoleon” appeared on all three lists. Films that landed on sound and VFX shortlists include “Deadpool & Wolverine,” “Alien: Romulus” and “Gladiator II.” One film, “Emilia Pérez,” appeared on both the sound and makeup list. In a surprising omission, George Miller’s “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” was not shortlisted in any of the three categories.
