Dune 2’s Denis Villeneuve is coming out hard against the Academy’s decision to deem Hans Zimmer‘s score ineligible for the Oscars. What did Denis Villeneuve say about the Oscars disqualifying Hans Zimmer’s Dune 2 score?

Much like Christopher Nolan, Villeneuve brought his artistic sensibilities to the blockbuster. First with Arrival. Then Blade Runner 2049, Dune, and Dune: Part Two. Nolan won Best Director at the 76th DGA Awards because Oppenheimer was a perfect combination of the two approaches. Mass-appeal, big-budget, nuanced, creative.

Not along ago it was revealed that Hans Zimmer's score for Dune Part 2 has been disqualified for upcoming Oscars 2025. Now the film's director Denis Villeneuve has expressed his displeasure over Academy Awards decision to deem the film's score ineligible.
