Robert Pattinson Receives Maverick Award at SAVFF #SCAD

 

Rob is so deserving of the recognition that his career is finally receiving.  Congratulations Rob – looking satisfied and happy suits you.

   

Scott Feinberg includes Robert Pattinson in his Best Actor Oscar Run

As we head towards the pointy end of the year, the Oscar predictions seem to be gathering steam.  Scott Feinberg from THR keeps a running list which are “formulated using a combination of personal impressions (from advance screenings), publicly available information (release dates, genres, talent rosters and teasers/trailers often offer valuable clues), historical considerations (how other films with similar pedigrees have resonated), precursor awards (some groups have historically correlated with the Academy more than others) and consultations with industry insiders (including fellow members of the press, awards strategists, filmmakers and voters)”.  He believes if the race ended now this is how the nominations would look for Best Actor:

  

He also thinks that Good Time might be a long shot for “Best Film”. Personally I don’t think it’s an “Oscar” film, but i’m happy to be proven wrong.  And historically, “Best Film” Oscars don’t always equate to “Best Actor” awards either and vice versa. But we will all keep an eye on this as we head towards Award Season in 2018. It would be great for Rob to get the recognition he deserves and if he gets a Globe nomination then Scott’s prediction might gather even more steam.

Robert Pattinson Part of 4th Annual Indie Contenders Panel at 31st AFI Festival on 12 November 2017

You had me at “generating awards buzz“.  From The Hollywood Reporter:

Eight filmmakers currently generating awards buzz for their work on independent films unveiled in 2017 will appear at the 31st AFI Fest on the fourth annual Indie Contenders Panel, hosted by The Hollywood Reporter.

This year’s participants will be Sean Baker (co-writer and director, The Florida Project); Richard Gere (lead actor, Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer); Salma Hayek (lead actress, Beatriz at Dinner); Diane Kruger (lead actress, In the Fade); Kumail Nanjiani (co-writer and lead actor, The Big Sick); Robert Pattinson (lead actor, Good Time); Margot Robbie (lead actress, I, Tonya); and Lois Smith (supporting actress, Marjorie Prime).

The panel will take place over 90 minutes on Nov. 12 in front of 200 AFI Fest badgeholders and ticketholders at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. It will feature clips and conversation about the challenges and rewards of making indie films. Video will exclusively appear on this blog shortly thereafter.

Selfishly I hope Sean Baker and Rob have a conversation – just putting it out there.  Would love for them to work together. Also, it’s a fab time to be a Rob fan – loving all the positive recognition he’s receiving.
