Dubai had been fogged out that morning and other flights where diverted, but because we had to wait, that meant myself and others missed conecting flights and all passengers where put up for the night in a near by hotel.

it was not our fault that we missed connecting flights, So i believe emirates had to supply us with a hotel for the night.

'fraid not. Emirates are obligated to take you as far as you bought a ticket with them...unless you have a through ticket on another carrier. They delivered on their side of the deal. You will find most carriers worldwide would have told you to p1$$ off in the circumstance you describe!

I have bought separate tickets on carriers many times, but usually have the connection the next day or something. A 90 minute connection just doesn't cut it for that type of thing.
