it's gotta win Original Score... it's about time Hans Zimmer wins another oscar, . Nicholas Britell, the guy who made the well-received music for Moonlight a few years ago, is also nominated, and while i haven't watched Don't Look Up, im sure he made a really good work there but, surely, surely this is the year of Hans Zimmer, right? DUNE music kicks ass
Yep, I think its time for Hans to finally win another Oscar, after 27 years and Lion King. Regarding Dune, I expect 3-5 Oscars, but not the most important one I'm afraid. I would like to be proved wrong though, but wouldn't mind The Power of the Dog winning a Best Picture Oscar either, as I liked that one too.
Oscar ratings in 2021 were the lowest in its history. They will likely make adjustments to address that the way the NFL has.
2020 was generally a bad year when it comes to movie quality so that probably helped Ocscars having such a shitty rating, on top of all that woke agenda that they have.
@Hydrogen. On Dune if you are not a fan of the books, it will be hard to be a fan of the movie. Dune is not similar to Starwars where it was created like a tv soap opera with lasers, spaceships and as a marketing tool for commerical merchandising. Dune was a very good movie and it deserves the nomination for best picture, I reckon.
Dunno, I know plenty of people that never read Dune books yet they liked the movie a lot. Its good that Denis Villeneuve insisted in two movies as one is simply not enough to cover the first book, but I still think that best approach would have been to make high-production series/mini-series out of it to properly cover everything.
By the way, I saw Nightmare Alley last night and it was a big disappointment, Bradly Cooper was a total miscast for that role. I have no idea how that movie ended up with Best Picture nomination.
