Director Denis Villeneuve has openly expressed his disappointment that Dune Part Two won’t be eligible for a top Academy Award at the upcoming event due to eligibility rules.
The Dune films have proven to be both critically acclaimed and financially profitable. The initial movie bagged six Academy Awards, boasts an 83% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and has earned over $400 million in global box office sales.
In 2024, Dune: Part Two surpassed expectations significantly, earning over $700 million at the box office, making it one of the year’s top-grossing films. Additionally, it garnered an impressive 92% rating on the Tomatometer.
As the Oscars nominations are nearly here, it’s anticipated that the movie will be nominated across several categories. However, it’s clear that Dune 2 won’t be included in one particular category.
Dune director “absolutely against” score’s exclusion
It was ruled that Hans Zimmer’s score for Dune: Part Two was ineligible for the Oscars due to excessive use of music from the initial film, which has left director Denis Villeneuve dissatisfied.
Villeneuve expressed strong disapproval towards the Academy’s decision to exclude Hans, stating that in his opinion, Hans’ score was among the top scores of the year. He even went as far as calling Hans ‘genius’.” (As reported by SlashFilm at a Director’s Guild screening)
In 2022, Hans Zimmer’s original score for Dune earned him an Academy Award, whereas his composition for Dune: Part Two was nominated at the Golden Globes but was beaten by the work of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross titled Challengers in that category.
However, Villeneuve acknowledged that the film’s score shares roots with the first part due to its continuity, implying that the two movies are essentially one long film divided into halves.
He made it clear that he bears no ill feelings by saying, “I’m not here to criticize. The soundtrack is an extension or continuation of Part One.
