When the Golden Globe nominations have been introduced yesterday, a part of the large story surrounding selections made by the Hollywood Overseas Press needed to do with Dune: Half Two. Positive, the movie was nominated for Greatest Movement Image – Drama and Hans Zimmer earned a nod for Greatest Authentic Rating, however filmmaker Denis Villeneuve missed out within the directing class (extra on that later) and the film was noticeably absent from the latest and controversial class addition, Greatest Cinematic and Field Workplace Achievement – regardless of being one of many highest-grossing movies of the yr on the world field workplace. It was a real head-scratcher, however it appears like there was a cause that Dune: Half Two was not noted of the class.
In line with a voting member of the Golden Globes, Portuguese movie critic Cláudio Alves, the sci-fi movie wasn’t nominated within the class as a result of it merely wasn’t submitted. In a submit on X, Alves stated, “Sadly, we might solely vote for the movies submitted by their distributors in that class. And solely 16 movies have been really submitted. Neither LONGLEGS, THE SUBSTANCE, or TERRIFIER 3, and even DUNE: Half TWO, have been up for consideration. I do not know why, tbh.”
Whereas Longlegs, The Substance, and Terrifier 3 have been field workplace hits, they would not be into consideration for the class as a result of their home grosses weren’t substantial sufficient to qualify, with every of these three movies incomes $74 million, $16 million, and $52 million, respectively. Dune: Half Two grossed $282.1 million on the home field workplace, so it might be eligible below the principles, but when Warner Bros. did not submit it, then the business has its reply. One might speculate as to why they did not, and it might be as a result of the studio has a historical past with the brand new award and wished to verify its finest providing was checked out past its field workplace achievement.
Warner Bros. Has Gained the Golden Globe for Field Workplace Achievement Earlier than
When the class was launched for the 2023 ceremony, Warner Bros.’ field workplace behemoth Barbie gained the award because of its staggering $636.2 million home gross. That being stated, it misplaced out on the opposite main awards it was up for, and for the reason that inclusion of the field workplace achievement class was met with a blended response from many within the business, maybe Warner Bros. did not need to run the danger of being included on the record once more. Nevertheless, the studio did submit Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, and perhaps it sees Dune: Half Two as a extra status providing that had a greater shot at securing extra vital nominations on the Golden Globes. Regardless of the cause, it seems the choice got here all the way down to Warner Bros.

As award season rolls in, Denis Villeneuve’s directing has already been snubbed for ‘Dune: Half Two.’
In line with the principles, a film has to gross greater than $150 million, and a minimal of $100 million of that has to return from the home entrance. 20 movies launched in 2024 hit that mark and Dune: Half Two was definitely certainly one of them. Along with the spectacular home efficiency, the Villeneuve movie went on to gross greater than $700 million worldwide, outpacing the earlier film on all fronts – though that movie needed to take care of the pandemic and a day-and-date launch on Max.
The class was clearly added to attraction to moviegoers who hunt down fewer awards season status movies and extra crowd-pleasing favorites. It is an apparent try to spice up rankings for the telecast, with the award stated to acknowledge “The yr’s most acclaimed, highest-earning and/or most seen movies which have garnered intensive world viewers help and attained cinematic excellence.” Wanting on the nominees this yr, it clearly appeals to popcorn flicks with Alien: Romulus, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Deadpool and Wolverine, Gladiator II, Inside Out 2, Twisters, Depraved and The Wild Robotic all incomes nods. That is to not say it is unhealthy to be a crowd-pleasing movie, since all of those releases helped drive enterprise to film theaters, however it must be referred to as what it’s: not a measure of excellence in movie and extra about how a lot cash the film pulled in.
Probably the most obvious omission for Dune: Half Two shouldn’t be this foolish field workplace achievement award, however director Denis Villeneuve not being acknowledged for his very good course of the movie. In some way, it appears just like the awards season voting our bodies are forgetting his work right here, which is among the better of the yr. Possibly it is as a result of it was launched too early within the yr, or there’s some sort of stigma in opposition to style movies at these ceremonies, however Dune: Half Two must be Villeneuve’s Return of the King and that is the omission everybody must be paying probably the most consideration to.
