Film composer Hans Zimmer celebrated his Oscar award for the film music for “Dune” on Monday night in a hotel bar in Amsterdam.
The 64-year-old tweeted a photo of himself in a white terry robe and holding an Oscar statuette, writing in English: “It’s 2am in Amsterdam and my daughter Zoë woke me up to go to the hotel bar. Wow!!”
He then tweeted a video from this hotel bar, in which he thanked the “Dune” musicians in particular, without whom none of this would have been possible, with loud cheers from the background.
And he thanked Dune director Denis Villeneuve, whom he described as his “soulmate.” Born in Frankfurt room is currently touring Europe and had planned a concert in Amsterdam with his orchestra on Sunday evening, so he couldn’t come to the Oscars in Hollywood.
The Oscar for “Dune” is his second award from the US Film Academy – in the 1990s he had already been honored for the music to the Disney animated film “The Lion King”.
