Random question. I just saw that Josh Brolin says he will quit acting if Villaneuve doesn’t get nominated for Dune 2 this year (I don’t believe him, think Villaneuve will get nominated though).

Do people feel that Dune 2 would be a more deserving BP winner than Gladiator, in a similar class, or less deserving?

I'd like to see it nominated, even if it doesn't win. the Academy could stand to recognize hard sci-fi.

I am one of the rare weirdos who did not like Dune 2, for all the reasons I don’t particularly like Villeneuve in general (looks great, feels cold, like a beautiful person with nothing behind their eyes). So I would give it to Gladiator any day, if only because it has the better Zimmer score.
