Dune: Part Two submitted for key Oscar category despite fears it isn’t eligible

Hans Zimmer’s score for the sci-fi epic Dune: Part Two has been officially submitted for Oscar consideration, despite previous fears that it wasn’t eligible.

Dune: Part Two features a substantial amount of music from the first film, preventing it from being considered for nomination under the current Academy rules.

Even if Dune: Part Two is deemed ineligible for the Oscars the film’s score can still be nominated for numerous other awards bodies including the Golden Globes, Bafta and the Grammys.
