Hans Zimmer is clear: that he hasn't been nominated for an Oscar for Dune 2 is a bad taste joke

The team responsible for Dune 2 has expressed their discontent after the 2025 Oscars, where the film only managed to win two awards: Best Sound and Best Visual Effects. Despite their ambitions, the production has been surprised by the lack of nominations in key categories such as Best Picture and Best Director, where many, including actor Josh Brolin, consider it a sacrilege that Denis Villeneuve has not been recognized.

The team responsible for Dune 2 has expressed their discontent after the 2025 Oscars, where the film only managed to win two awards: Best Sound and Best Visual Effects. Despite its ambitions, the production has been surprised by the lack of nominations in key categories such as Best Picture and Best Director, where many, including actor Josh Brolin, consider it a sacrilege that Denis Villeneuve has not been recognized.

Hans Zimmer, a loser with opinions

Hans Zimmer, the acclaimed composer of the Dune 2 soundtrack, has also expressed his disappointment at not receiving a nomination, suggesting that the Academy’s rules are inadequate. In a recent conversation with Josh Horowitz, Zimmer emphasized that the current criteria do not benefit sequels, and that his previous work may have influenced the lack of consideration for Dune: Messiah, projecting a complicated path for future recognition.

In addition, in the same context, Zimmer has commented on his decision not to collaborate again with Christopher Nolan. “Sometimes you need to refresh your creative palette,” he explained. He emphasized that, although his friendship with Nolan is very strong, his collaboration with Denis Villeneuve in the Dune universe is also significant. Regarding his future projects, the composer shared that his next work will be in F1, the movie starring Brad Pitt.

The controversy surrounding the 2025 Oscars reflects the tensions between innovative productions and established traditions in the Academy, and the lack of recognition for Dune 2 raises questions about the criteria and selection processes of the most prestigious awards in the film industry.

Lawrence Stroll: The Billionaire Backing Fernando Alonso’s Racing Comeback

Lawrence Stroll, the leader of Aston Martin, who convinced Fernando Alonso to join his body. But who is this gentleman?

If at 63 years of age the world catches us surrounded by race cars going 350 kilometers per hour without the need to take Trankimazines, we will know that we have succeeded in life. At least a little bit. This is the case of Lawrence Stroll, the leader of Aston Martin, who convinced Fernando Alonso to join his bodywork. But who is this gentleman? Should we know him beforehand? Would we want to be friends with a sexagenarian car racing fanatic? Let’s take a look at him.

Who is Lawrence Stroll?

Lawrence Stroll was born in Montreal in 1959 and is, right now, very close to being one of the thousand richest people in the world, according to Forbes. Specifically, he is the 1012nd person with the most money, managing $3 billion. Nothing, small change. It should be noted that although his position in the top has dropped (in 2020 he was in position 804), it is not because he has become poorer, but because other people have become richer.

What is this man doing in Formula 1?

After becoming a fashion totem in 2011 and selling his shares in 2014, Stroll took over a Formula One team, Force India, before becoming executive chairman of Aston Martin in 2020 after investing $235 million in the company. The weekly paycheck, wow. As part of the deal, Aston Martin returned to Formula 1 by transforming his team into the brand’s official team. His son, by the way, is part of the team. Nepo baby automobilist.

Why did you want Fernando Alonso?

As he has been there all his life, it sometimes seems to us that Fernando Alonso must already be on the verge of retirement, but the truth is that he is only 41 years old and still has a career ahead of him. After a few years away from Formula 1, he returned in July 2021 with Renault. He came tenth, improving on his 2018 ranking, where he was a little behind. He still has much to improve to return to the 2005-2006 era, but Alonso wanted a change of scenery and Stroll spoke with him to convince him: “These are my plans for the future,” he told him. And the Spaniard agreed. If only there were much more to tell.

How’s the alliance going?

Well… So far Alonso has three third place finishes in a long-term plan to win. Can the money of one and the instinct of another combine in success? Who knows. We’ll be here to watch (miles per hour permitting).
