Josh Brolin slams Academy over Oscar snub, jokes he’s going to ‘quit acting’ [Video]

Josh Brolin joked about quitting acting as he criticized the Academy for snubbing “Dune: Part Two” director Denis Villeneuve.

Brolin, who has starred in both “Dune” and “Dune: Part Two,” had previously threatened to quit acting if Villeneuve’s work in the sequel were not recognized.

“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,” Brolin said in a video shared to his Instagram story. “Apparently, I am going to quit acting because Denis Villeneuve didn’t get nominated.”

“This is just how this thing works,” he added. “It makes no sense to me. That’s OK. [Editor] Joe Walker and Denis, you deserve it. It’s an amazing film. It was even better than the first one. The people who have gotten accolades surely deserve it. Happy to be a part of it. Congrats everyone.”
