Robert Pattinson nominated for Best Actor in The Lighthouse by Detroit ilm Critics Society

The Detroit Film Society has nominated Rob for Best Actor in The Lighthouse. It’s definitely a stacked competition – I’ve seen all the films bar The Lighthouse and Uncut Gems and it’s definitely going to be a close one between Joaquin Phoenix and Adam Driver. Contrary to public opinion I thought The Irishman was good but Joe Pesci stole the movie for me.

In other news, The Lighthouse has also been nominated for Best Screenplay and Will Dafoe for Best Supporting Actor. I am scratching my head as to why Robert Eggers seems to be overlooked for best director. I guess he may be the Di Caprio of Directors?

The winners will be announced 9 December 2019. This is the second time Rob’s been nominated by DFCS. He was also nominated for Good Time

Robert Pattinson finally recognised and included as a new BAFTA member

From Variety:

Robert Pattinson, Alicia Vikander, Sam Rockwell, Melissa McCarthy, Joanne Froggatt, Himesh Patel and Nicholas Hoult are among the record-setting 559 new members joining BAFTA in 2019, Variety can reveal.

…

The new members are drawn from a mix of individuals applying directly and those who were invited. In both cases they have to pass strict vetting and fulfill eligibility criteria.

…

Applications for membership are received first before BAFTA adds people to be invited. That allows the organization to try to ensure a wide spread of people inducted into the British Academy.
