[JoeStemme]

I'm all for the decision, as much as I like Zimmer's work. No need to reward the same composer with reworked themes. Howard Shore, who I also admire, shouldn't have won twice for LOTR.

 

[Jake Lipson]

No need to reward the same composer with reworked themes.

There is new music in Dune Part Two. Zimmer built on the existing themes, but did more than just recycle his previous work. He created a new score, and disqualifying his work erroneously suggests otherwise. I think it is fundamentally wrong to deny the score the chance to be considered whether he would have won again or not.

 

[Tino]

There have been plenty of sequels nominated for this category before, including Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny last year.

“In cases such as sequels and franchises from any media, the score must not use more than 20% of pre-existing themes and music borrowed from previous scores in the franchise,” the Academy rule states.

“In cases such as sequels and franchises from any media, the score must not use more than 20% of pre-existing themes and music borrowed from previous scores in the franchise,” the Academy rule states.

Exactly. I know the Dune fans are all upset, but the Academy did right by adhering to the rule. I would argue it should be even tighter, but even 20% is still a LOT of repeated music over a three hour movie.

 

[Malcolm R]

So if the rule is clearly stated, and Dune 2 does not comply, what's the controversy?

Is there a controversy?

 

[Malcolm R]

Is there a controversy?

Seems like some people are upset that Dune 2 was not eligible. Just wondering why if it does not meet the rules?

 

[Josh Steinberg]

Seems like some people are upset that Dune 2 was not eligible. Just wondering why if it does not meet the rules?

I think it’s mostly just an unfortunate byproduct of the era we live in where legitimate journalism is drying up, and clickbait outrage has replaced it. More people will read garbage clickbait site headlines that “Dune 2 is disqualified” than will read the actual Variety article in full that clearly explains the situation. We’re also in an era where everyone is being asked to offer an opinion on everything. We’ve also become more tribal, rooting for whatever films or sports or area of interest we enjoy as if we have a personal stake in that. All of that is a recipe for generating perpetual outrage, not for any particularly noble purpose, but just to generate revenue.

This whole new infrastructure for disseminating information has no vested interest in the information being accurate and/or presented in a balanced fashion. It exists only to get you to click a button, because that is the sole mechanism for these sites making money. Whether intended or not, that has shifted everything from “how can we convey this information in a meaningful and responsible and informative way” to “how can we make someone press a button”.

I’m sure a veteran industry professional like Hans Zimmer is well aware of the guidelines for score eligibility and isn’t losing any sleep over this. Delivering the score he was hired to create, one he was satisfied with, is the higher priority than meeting an arbitrary standard for award eligibility.

 

[Tino]

More people will read garbage clickbait site headlines that “Dune 2 is disqualified”

Apologies if that’s how my post came off. For clarity I’ve edited my post to reflect the actual Variety article.

Hans Zimmer’s ‘Dune 2’ Score Fails to Meet Eligibility Requirements for Oscars (EXCLUSIVE)

Oh no I didn’t mean you did anything wrong at all! I was just speaking more generally trying to answer Malcolm’s question about why “outrage” always seems dialed up to 11 online even for things that aren’t controversial.

 

[Tino]

Oh no I didn’t mean you did anything wrong at all!

No worries Josh. I didn’t think that at all.

 

[Jake Lipson]

It must be a slow news day. The trades have picked up as news that Quentin Tarantino refuses to watch the new Dune films because they are remakes.

Quentin Tarantino Doesn’t Want To Watch Denis Villeneuve’s ‘Dune,’ Laments Hollywood’s Penchant For Remakes

Quentin Tarantino said he has no interest in watching Denis Villeneuve's 'Dune' adaptations, as he views them as a sign of overreliance on old IP.

deadline.com

I bring this up here, in context of the awards race, because Tarantino is an Oscar winner. I therefore assume he is a member of the Academy. Tarantino is entitled to his tastes and preferences just like anyone else. But if what he is saying is true, then he might not be a very good voter. Voters should try to see as many nominated films as they are able before casting their ballots.

Dune Part One was nominated for ten Oscars, including Best Picture. And yet Tarantino did not see it. That means he wasn't able to consider if it was worthy of his vote.

It's fine for me to decide I don't want to see a particular movie because I'm just a regular member of the moviegoing public. But I'm not a member of a major voting body for an event like the Oscars. If I actually had the opportunity to vote on the Oscars, which Tarantino most likely does, I would take that very seriously. I would do my very best to see as many of the nominees as I could before voting. If Tarantino chooses not to do that, he is not doing the best job he can as a voter. I respect Tarantino as a filmmaker and he has made films that I've really liked. But this just seems irresponsible to me. As far as I know, there is no requirement that Academy voters see all of the films in order to vote for the final winners. But I think declining to watch a major nominee if you have the ability to vote is a really unfortunae decision.

 

[jayembee]

Well, I'm inclined to argue that people are people, and make decisions about what to watch or not based on their own biases. There are specific categories (eg. documentaries, shorts, and foreign-language films) where Oscar voters are required to see the nominees in order to vote. But in most of the categories that's not the case.

Personally, I think Tarantino is an idiot for dismissing any given movie because it's a remake or a sequel. I get his point, but there comes a point where sticking to his guns is tantamount to throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Especially in this case, where he's essentially saying "I won't watch Villeneuve's Dune movies because I've already seen Lynch's." (I, for one, think Lynch's Dune is ghastly, and always have.)

 

[Malcolm R]

Most people in any voting situation don't have info, or haven't seeked out info, about other choices on the ballot. They just vote for a familiar/favorite option. Academy voters have been quoted as saying they let their kids or other non-Academy family members fill out their ballots, so I don't think there's any lofty standard at work in the Oscars. It's decided on popularity or whatever the trendy social issue of the day may be, or whoever the kids want to vote for.

 

[JoeStemme]

Well, I'm inclined to argue that people are people, and make decisions about what to watch or not based on their own biases. There are specific categories (eg. documentaries, shorts, and foreign-language films) where Oscar voters are required to see the nominees in order to vote. But in most of the categories that's not the case.

First, it is in the Academy's guidelines that members should abstain if they haven't seen all the nominees in a category. It's on the honor system, but if you read those "Anonymous Ballot" articles leading up to the Oscars, you'll see some of the honorable members mention they are abstaining from certain categories because they haven't seen all the nominees. Is QT honorable? Doubtful. You just know he'll vote in all 5-10 categories that Dune II will likely be nominated in.
Second, only the shorts require proof that a member has seen all the nominees. Doc and International Films are now on the ballot for everybody (that's why is now SO EASY to predict those two categories - just go with the buzziest nominee).

 

[ManW_TheUncool]

Basically, just don't take (winning/losing at) the Oscars too seriously, LOL...

‘Dune: Part Two’ Score Submitted for Oscars Despite Not Meeting Eligibility Requirements; ‘I Don’t Think This Is Over Yet,’ Says Denis Villeneuve (EXCLUSIVE)

Warner Bros submits "Dune 2" for Original Score Oscars after not initially meeting requirements.

[JoeStemme]

They can submit all they want, but, the rules are the rules.

 

[Wayne_j]

Before the Godzilla Minus One screening that I attended today they played the featurette that they submitted to the academy about their VFX process.
