Director Denis Villeneuve of Dune 2 is strongly criticizing the Academy’s ruling that disqualifies Hans Zimmer’s score from Oscar consideration.
What did Denis Villeneuve say about the Oscars disqualifying Hans Zimmer’s Dune 2 score?
In October, the Academy ruled that Hans Zimmer’s score for “Dune: Part Two” would not be considered for an Oscar due to its extensive use of pre-existing music. This exceeded the limit set by the Academy, rendering it ineligible for the category of Best Original Score. It is worth noting that Zimmer previously won an Oscar for Best Original Score on the original “Dune.
Just last week, Villeneuve spoke at an event hosted by the Director’s Guild of America in New York, where they screened Dune: Part Two. He voiced his frustration over the Academy disqualifying Hans Zimmer’s score from being considered for awards.
As a gamer, let me express my strong disagreement with the Academy’s choice to exclude Hans from contention this year. In my opinion, his performance was among the top-notch scores I’ve encountered all year. To be honest, I rarely use the term ‘genius,’ but in this case, it’s hard not to see Hans as one.
Villeneuve elaborated on the connection between the soundtracks, stating that Dune 2 is deeply connected to the first part. Essentially, for Villeneuve, Dune 1 and 2 make up a single, continuous film that has been split into two parts.
Despite his dissatisfaction with the decision, Villeneuve tried to keep things cordial.
Villeneuve was joking when he said he wasn’t there to complain,” he added. “In truth, the soundtrack continues seamlessly from where it left off in Part One.
Regardless of whether Zimmer is involved or not, Dune: Part Two is expected to garner numerous Oscar nods, particularly for its technical aspects. Previously, the original Dune movie earned 10 Academy Award nominations, winning six in categories such as Best Original Score, Best Sound, Best Film Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Production Design, and Best Visual Effects.
In the sequel, penned and helmed by Villeneuve, Dune: Part Two chronicles Paul Atreides’ mission to band together the Fremen and retaliate against the Harkonnens for their devastation of his family’s estate. Once more gracing the screen as Paul is Timothée Chalamet. Joining him in this epic tale are actors such as Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Charlotte Rampling, Christopher Walken, Léa Seydoux, and Javier Bardem.
