Josh Brolin goes on wild rant over Dune 2 Oscars snub as he threatens to QUIT acting Josh Brolin vented his frustration at Dune: Part Two filmmaker Denis Villeneuve not receiving a Best Director nod as Academy Awards nominations were announced Thursday, sarcastically saying he was going to quit acting.
Villeneuve again was snubbed on Thursday, as he was excluded from the list of Best Achievement in Directing nominees, which included The Brutalist's Brady Corbet, Emilia Pérez's Jacques Audiard, Anora's Sean Baker, The Substance's Coralie Fargeat and A Complete Unknown's James Mangold.
The Santa Monica, California native, who appeared to be sitting on his couch in his home, made a reference to his previous vow in an Instagram Stories clip reacting to the Villeneuve snub.
The 56-year-old actor previously told Variety in November that he felt Villeneuve, 57, was blatantly snubbed by the Academy after he was not nominated for the first Dune movie, which was released in late 2021.
'If he doesn't get nominated this year, I'll quit acting,' Brolin told the outlet last fall.
