A few months ago, it was confirmed that famed composer Hans Zimmer won't be eligible in the Best Original Score category due to the sequel's soundtrack sharing too much music with the first film. The Academy dictates that a sequel can't use more than 20% of a past entry's music in its score and still be eligible in the category.

Part Two score got tossed out of the Oscars race, the outrage was as loud as one of his signature drumlines. And now, Denis Villeneuve is stepping in to crank up the volume.

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.

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.
