Hans Zimmer’s ‘Dune 2’ Score Ruled Ineligible for Oscars (EXCLUSIVE)


Hans Zimmer's 'Dune 2' score has been ruled ineligible for the Oscars, but will compete for Golden Globes, Critics Choice and Grammys.

Additionally, Zimmer’s score for Steve McQueen’s upcoming World War II drama “Blitz” remains eligible, providing the composer another shot at Academy recognition this year. This latest development adds “Dune: Part Two” to a growing list of exceptional film scores deemed ineligible for Oscar consideration by the Academy’s Music Branch. Other notable examples include Jóhann Jóhannsson’s score for “Arrival” (2016), Cliff Martinez’s work in “Drive” (2011), and Clint Mansell’s music in “Black Swan” (2010).
