The scores from “Depraved,” “Moana 2” and “Emilia Perez” are among the many 89 songs and 145 scores eligible for music Oscars this yr.
As predicted, “Dune: Half Two” isn’t amongst them. Composer Hans Zimmer’s music for director Denis Villeneuve’s second half of the Frank Herbert sci-fi novel is believed to have run afoul of the Academy’s strict rule about music in sequels: “The rating should not use greater than 20 % of pre-existing themes and music borrowed from earlier scores within the franchise.”
Zimmer has mentioned that he disagrees with the rule and contends that the music for the 2 movies is one large canvas. As he lately informed Selection: “The Oscars are essential, and also you’re influencing the best way we are able to create artwork… We should always have the liberty to search out methods to create no matter involves us. Denis made the best selection by splitting a heavy-duty e-book into two components.”
Zimmer’s music for the primary “Dune” film received the 2021 Oscar; it was his second, after his 1994 win for “The Lion King.” Zimmer’s rating for “Blitz,” nonetheless, is eligible for this yr’s awards. Curiously, Zimmer’s “Dune Two” rating was nominated for a Golden Globe.
Scores from all of this yr’s main musicals have been declared eligible, nonetheless, not like previous years when their dramatic scores have been routinely disqualified as “diminished in affect by the predominant use of songs,” per Academy guidelines.
That signifies that the scores for “Depraved” (by Stephen Schwartz and John Powell), “Emilia Perez” (by Clement Ducol and Camille) and “Moana 2” (by Mark Mancina and Opetaia Foa’i) are eligible to compete on this yr’s Oscar derby.
Oscar guidelines state that whereas as many as three songs per movie will be submitted, solely two could make the shortlist and not more than two will be nominated. Two movies have three eligible songs (“Dandelion” and “The Finish”) and 13 others have two (together with “Emilia Perez,” “Moana 2,” “Mufasa: The Lion King” and “Twisters”).
The variety of eligible movies within the music classes is down barely from final yr’s lists, which included 94 songs and 149 scores.
Past the “Dune 2” disqualification, there have been no actual surprises on the lists for songs and scores. Voting started this morning and ends at 5 p.m. Friday. Based on the Movement Image Academy, there have been 403 voting members within the Music department.
