Rotten Tomatoes has recognized a film that remained unacknowledged at the Golden Globes. This review aggregator has been awarding its prestigious Golden Tomato Awards annually for the past 25 years, celebrating the top-reviewed films of the year. Noteworthy past recipients of the Best Movie award include 2023’s Oscar-winning film Oppenheimer, 2022’s blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick, 2021’s crowd-pleaser Spider-Man: No Way Home, 2020’s critically acclaimed Portrait of a Lady on Fire, and 2019’s blockbuster Avengers: Endgame, showcasing a diverse array of both mainstream and independent cinema.
In 2025, Rotten Tomatoes will host its 26th annual Golden Tomato Awards, celebrating the outstanding films and television series released in 2024. This event takes place early in the 2024-2025 awards season, strategically positioned between the Golden Globes ceremony held on January 5 and the anticipated Oscar nominations scheduled for January 19, which were delayed by two days due to ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles.
Rotten Tomatoes Honors Dune: Part Two
Recently Overlooked at the Golden Globes
Despite earning a Certified Fresh score of 92% on Rotten Tomatoes and a global box office total reaching $714.4 million—making it the fifth highest-grossing film of 2024—Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two only received two nominations at the Golden Globes: Best Motion Picture – Drama and Best Original Score. Unfortunately, it did not win in either category, losing to The Brutalist and Challengers respectively.
The storyline of Dune: Part Two continues to follow Paul Atreides as he fights to assist the Fremen in protecting their home planet of Arrakis. The film features a remarkable ensemble cast, including Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Dave Bautista, Christopher Walken, and Stellan Skarsgård.
Rotten Tomatoes has officially announced the winners for the 2024 Golden Tomato Awards, crowning Dune: Part Two as their overall Best Movie of 2024. This accolade is based on a weighted ranking system that evaluates a film’s Rotten Tomatoes score in conjunction with the volume of reviews it receives. The film also triumphed in the Best Wide Release Movies and Best Sci-Fi Movies categories. Below is a list of the Top 10 titles in the Best Movies category:

Implications for Dune: Part Two
Enthusiastic Reception from Critics
While the awards from Rotten Tomatoes may not always accurately forecast which films will succeed in securing nominations or wins for Best Picture at the Oscars, Dune: Part Two taking this honor could suggest that the film still possesses notable momentum in its quest for accolades, particularly following its shutout at the Golden Globes. The film has already received recognition through various other awards, including the AFI Award and a Gotham Award, indicating that its critical acclaim has remained strong as the year comes to a close. Such support could translate to a favorable impression among the Academy voters.
