beat sheet
- Denis Villeneuve is appealing the Academy's decision to bar Hans Zimmer's Dune: Part Two score from the Best Original Score category, calling it "one of the most beautiful scores Hans has ever written
- The Academy has a history of excluding acclaimed blockbusters like The Dark Knight and Tron from major categories due to nonsensical rules, favoring more traditional, 'Oscar-friendly' films
