Hans Zimmer Still Upset Over Oscar Disqualification for Dune: Part Two
Renowned composer Hans Zimmer remains frustrated after the Academy disqualified _Dune: Part Two_ from the Best Original Score category. The disqualification stemmed from a rule stating that if over 20% of the music is reused from a previous film, it cannot be eligible. Zimmer criticized this rule as 'stupid,' arguing that _Dune: Part Two_ is not merely a sequel but a culmination of the story.
Despite the film's critical acclaim and box office success, Zimmer's exclusion from the Oscars has sparked controversy. He expressed his disappointment in a podcast, emphasizing that reusing themes for character development is essential for continuity in storytelling.
Looking ahead, Zimmer is already working on the next installment of the saga, _Dune: Messiah_, raising questions about whether he will receive a nomination for this upcoming project.
