Regarding the Academy’s decision to remove his Dune: Part Two score from nomination for the 2025 Oscars, renowned composer Hans Zimmer has spoken out.
The 67-year-old film soundtrack composer poked fun at the Academy during an interview with Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, saying that the choice was “a foolish one” rather than “a sore point.”
Zimmer put his ideas into words, saying, “You know something? Actually, it’s not a sore point. How can it be a sore point when it’s such an idiotic point?
“I was disqualified because I used material from the first movie in the second movie, which isn’t a sequel,” he continued. It is the conclusion; there is a single arc in both films.
