The 67-year-old two-time nominee told USA Today: 'You know what, I have been called a lot worse in my time.'

Dick Pope responded to the 'Dick Poop' name calling: 'I have been called a lot worse in my time'

Pope continued: 'I don't think twice about anything like that. I am happy to be nominated. We're all very happy. It's wonderful news. But I represent a whole company and the whole film. I represent the people who work on it. We are all very pleased. Delighted.'

He also shared that he received quite a bit of reaction from his friends and co-workers.

'You don't need to explain it to me. I have had it explained one hundred times,' Dick added.

'I feel sorry for the lady who made the mispronunciation. I have never been on Twitter and I don't know what trending means,' he admitted.

'I am completely naive. All I know is that I have a lot of emails here saying I am trending on Twitter. They might as well be saying I am landing on the moon, as far as I am concerned.'
