Willem Dafoe thanks Robert Pattinson in his acceptance speech

Rob lost to Adam Sander (I’m still bitter about that), but I loved how Willem Dafoe recognised his co-star and said “Lastly, it takes two to tango. He’s not here, but I share this with Rob Pattinson and remember it’s bad luck to kill a sea bird.” I thought it was extremely gracious of Willem.

Willem also shut down the questions directed to him backstage post win about Rob and The Batman (at about 1.48 and then again at 3.40) . It was fairly poor behaviour by these journos to try and get some exclusive when they should be focusing on his win and The Lighthouse. Congrats Willem you so deserved this award and recognition for an amazing performance.

Robert Pattinson Wins .@FANGORIA Chainsaw Award for 2020 | #TheLighthouse

Finally, somebody recognising the incredible talent that is Robert Pattinson. He should have more awards under his belt for this role, but clearly talent isn’t what’s recognised for some of those other awards. Fingers crossed The Independent Spirit Awards are wiser today.

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
