By James Hibberd Writer-at-Large Brolin took to his Instagram stories to point out that “it makes no sense” that Villeneuve was snubbed for best director given the film racking up five nominations — including best picture.

The 'Dune' actor threatened he'd quit acting if Villeneuve got snubbed for Best Director again, which the directed did this morning.

Brolin congratulated those members of Dune's crew that did receive nominations. The post Josh Brolin is mad that the Oscars snubbed Denis Villeneuve for ‘Dune’…again appeared first on The Manual.

The biggest snub of all (at least for me) was Luca Guadagnino's Challengers, which received zero nods despite Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross taking home the gong for Best Original Score at the Golden Globes. Fans have taken to Twitter to sound off about the snubs, and understandably so.

Dune: Part Two was nominated for five awards at this year’s ceremony, including Best Picture, Production Design, Cinematography, Visual Effects, and Sound. Some have taken to X to share their dismay over some areas where they think Dune: Part Two was snubbed.

The Oscars 2025 nominations are here and they've brought their usual snubs and surprises with them. The one that stood out to me the most – besides Denzel Washington not securing a nod for his villainous turn in Gladiator 2 – was Denis Villeneuve once again being passed over for Best Director.
