Dumb. They'll probably pull a LotR and recognize Dune Messiah!

„Joker 2” score is on Warner's official FYC website, and the score from „Dune 2” is not listed on the same site.

So you think it's a "coincidence" that a major film company on its official awards website omits and doesn't include information about music from "Dune 2" at all, but promotes and includes information about music from "Joker 2" ?
let's be serious...

DUNE PART TWO ineligible for Academy Award.

Not the first time there is such a decision... that is in part because most members of the Academy know zilch about composing music and what it means to compose an original score. They confuse composing with "coming up with a melody".
Perhaps it's because many of the Academy members know this only from pop music. Most pop songs are just a melodic line, a chorus, a few riffs and lyrics, that's it. The rest is up to the performer. That's why the same song may be performed by different singers with different instruments and to widely different effect. And that's why most folks don't care who composed a pop song but only who performed it. (Most people will likely tell you "I will always love you" is a Whitney Huston song rather than a Dolly Parton song.) That's because pop music is more performer oriented than classical music (and by extension some film music). Sure there are differences between Harnoncourt and Karajan conducting Beethoven's 6th symphony, but no one would really say it's a "Harnoncourt Symphony" or a "Karajan Symphony". But "I will always love you" is (to most) a Whitney Huston rather than a Dolly Parton song.
Composing classical music (and by extension that is true for some film music) is a completely different thing. You can compose an entirely NEW work and composition, yet base that on melodies from somebody else. Take Paul Hindemith's "Symphonic Metamorphoses of Themes by Carl Maria von Weber" or Sergei Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini". No one would claim these are not original (and new) compositions by Rachmaninoff or Hindemith, yet if these were film scores, according to Academy rules, these would probably be ineligible. Even though they are 100% compositions by Hindemith and Rachmaninoff (and no one would claim they are compositions by Weber or Paganini), they used themes written by someone else as a starting point.
Same with some film scores, in fact, many sequel film scores use themes already established in the first movie, as they should, that is the point. Yet nevertheless they may be 100% original film scores. Just because they use some or all of the same themes already established in another movie doesn't mean the actual composition isn't original.
Howard Shore's THE TWO TOWERS was a substantial and new original film score, but was ruled ineligible back in the day too. Which is really a disgrace and only shows that the Academy doesn't really have a clue about music. They just don't understand it.
