"Duna: Part Two" is one of the most welcoming blockbusters in recent memory, with the film set to compete for the biggest night award for the Oscars next month. Director Denis Vilnev's favorite sequel is nominated for the best picture of this year's Academy Awards, as well as other awards. But the musical maestro Hans Zimmer does not compete in the best original grade category because his soundtrack for the film did not qualify. No matter how painful it was, it was, Zimmer recently won another great award for his work on the film.

At the 67th Grammy Award last night, the result of "Duna: Part: Two: Part" of Zimmer took home the soundtrack award for the best result for visual media. Beats the Likes of "American Fiction" (Laura Carpman), "Causes" (Trent Resor and Atikus Ross), "Purple Purple" (Chris Bowers) and Hogun's hit series ). None of those films were nominated for the best original Oscars in 2025; The results for the "brutalist", "Conklava", "Emilia Perez", "Work", and the "wild robot" collected the nominations, but "American Fiction" and "Purple" came out the previous year ", Shogun" is a TV series (and therefore not qualified for an Oscar) and The result "triggers" was inexplicable glued.

Not that moviemaking should be for rewards, but it can feel like a painful place when one of the most widely praised elements of the film nominated for the best Oscars does not recognize the Academy, especially by Zimmer won the best original result for his work in Duna in 2021. But that, in itself, is part of the problem when it comes to why the sequel is not in the race this time around.

The Academy has found that the "Duna: Part" soundtrack is not qualified for the Oscars. Why, exactly? "In cases such as extensions and franchises from any media, the result must not use more than 20% of existing topics and music borrowed from previous results in the franchise," the organization's rules said. According to people who determine whether the film meets the corresponding qualification standards, Zimmer used too much of the first "Dina" in the sequel.

However, this does not mean that everyone must be happy for the situation. "I am absolutely against the Academy's decision to exclude Hans, honestly, because I feel like his result is one of the best results of the year," "" Vilnev said in response to the Oscars that do not nominate the result of "Duna: second" by Zimmer. Whether it is offended or not Zimmer is currently a little unknown, but Grammy is likely to help relieve part of the sting.

The big question now is whether this will be a problem When Vilnev's "Dunne Messiah", Aka 3 3 ", begins. It has not been confirmed whether Zimmer will return to make the score for the third installment in the franchise based on Frank Herbert's beloved novels, though he feels like a safe bet. Will Zimmer change the next time around to provide a possible nomination? Or will he just do what feels like the best creative choice, regardless of the rewards? The latter feels like security for one of the most prolific composers of the modern era.
