Josh Brolin reacts to Denis Villeneuve’s Oscars snub after claims he’d ‘retire’ if Dune 2 director ignored ‘Apparently, I am going to quit acting,’ the star said.
The Academy failed to nominate Villeneuve for Dune: Part Two after leaving him out of the best director category in 2022 for the first Dune film.
Josh Brolin has reacted to Denis Villeneuve being shut out of the Oscars race for best director for another year, after claiming he would quit acting if it happened twice.
Speaking to his three million followers on Instagram, Brolin said: “Just want to say congratulations on the Dune best picture nomination, to Greig Fraser on cinematography, for best visual effects, for Patrice [Vermett] on production design and for sound.
After Villenueve’s snub in 2022, the actor - who plays Gurney Halleck in the franchise - fumed at the Academy: “I don’t know how you get 10 nominations and then the guy who has done the impossible with that book doesn’t get nominated.
