The hot pre-ceremony topic among attendees of the 26th annual Art Directors Guild Awards tonight was the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences’ controversial decision to pre-tape several artisan awards – including production design – and edit them into the live network broadcast.

At Deadline’s Contenders Film: The Nominees event, Dune‘s Oscar-nominated producer Mary Parent said that “it will be the fall” when the sequel to the feature take of the Frank Herbert novel rolls cameras, “not the summer” as previously expected.

Various directors have voiced their concerns about the state of modern studio films in recent years. And that means it’s unavoidable that they’ll eventually comment on the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Denis Villeneuve insists he's "deeply pleased" with the Oscar nods for 'Dune' - despite his director snub. The 54-year-old filmmaker helmed the first of a planned two-part adaptation of Frank Herbert's 1965 classic sci-fi novel of the same name and admitted being recognised by the Academy is "really moving" as it was unexpected. Speaking in an interview with MovieMaker, Villeneuve said: “Frankly, if you had told me a few months ago that we’d be in the Oscar race, that we’d have that kind of recognition, I would have not believed you.

The studio sci-fi epic “Dune” not only impressed critics and audiences alike, but it also got on the radar of the Academy Awards earlier this week. The dramatic space opera earned an impressive ten Academy Award nominations, only being beaten by “The Power of The Dog,” which nabbed twelve.

Dune has racked up an impressive 10 Oscar nominations, including the coveted nod for Best Picture. Despite the film’s recognition, one nomination was notably absent: a Best Director slot for Denis Villeneuve. The French-Canadian filmmaker handled the alleged snub with grace, but Dune actor Josh Brolin was definitely not happy with the Academy.

In case, you were living under a rock, the 2022 Oscar nominations were announced on Monday, earlier this week. Award nominations can be polarizing, and others get upset for people seen as getting snubbed.

Dune cast member Josh Brolin has a bone to pick with the voting members of the Film Academy.

Zack Sharf Josh Brolin has a bone to pick with the Academy after it nominated “Dune” for 10 Oscars but shut out filmmaker Denis Villeneuve from the director category. “Dune” landed in the best picture race and earned nominations in every individual crafts category, which made Villeneuve’s omission one of the biggest nomination snubs of the year.

When it comes to awards snubs, Josh Brolin has Denis Villeneuve’s back.
