With the Golden Globes having taken place final night time awards season is now in full siwngand whereas Dune: Half Two didn’t take dwelling any trophies on the 2025 Golden Globes, it’s nonetheless thought of top-of-the-line films of the yr. I hope to see Dune Half Two do nicely on the 2025 Oscars, however it appears I’d care about it greater than director Denis Villeneuve does.
In our checklist of the most effective films of 2024 CinemaBlend ranked Dune Half Two at quantity three, and I known as it top-of-the-line science fiction films of 2024 as nicely. Whereas Villeneuve appears fairly pleased to obtain such accolades, and tells our sister facet GamesRadar that he considers it the “highest complement” to be within the Oscar dialog, he doesn’t appear significantly involved with precise nominations or awards. The director mentioned…
It is good to be within the dialog, the film got here out in March and continues to be within the minds and hearts of individuals. The truth that they’re contemplating it for Academy Awards is the best praise. I’m not making films for awards although, you’ll be able to’t plan this stuff and I take nothing as a right. I’ll see what occurred however I am honored that persons are contemplating it and speaking about it.
The director makes it clear that he’s happy with Dune: Half Two and of the individuals who helped make it occur, and that received’t change, whatever the awards state of affairs. He calls out the Dune 2 forged, particularly for what they dropped at the movie. He credit their dedication to the story for lots of what makes the film nice. Villeneuve conitnued…
Timothée [Chalamet], Zendaya, Austin [Butler], Florence [Pugh], Josh [Brolin], Stellan [Skarsgård], all people actually… all of the actors. They’d an enormous activity on their shoulders bringing the humanity the film wanted to land. I stored saying to my crew, if the viewers doesn’t consider in Paul and Chani’s love story, there’s no film. I like how dedicated they had been and labored arduous to make this occur.
The primary Dune film received a number of Oscars, making a close to sweep of the technical classes taking dwelling six Academy Awards. It might very simply win lots of these awards once more. Though one award it received final time, Finest Unique Rating, it is not going to be eligible for this time round, since a lot of the music Dune : Half two initially appeared in Half One.
Josh Brolin has famously threatened to stop appearing if Denis Villeneuve isn’t nominated for Finest Director. If he’s will probably be actually be a particular achievement for the person, however it appears he could be simply as pleased if the opposite individuals who made his film had been acknowledged. He continued…

I actually assume thee are just a few Oscars that Dune: Half Two ought to win, however it appears that evidently Denis Villeneuve is aware of that his film is sweet, and something greater than that’s simply icing on the cake.
