Robert Pattinson will Compete for Lead Actor

Rob finally receiving the recognition that he deserves, although I don’t need him to win an Oscar to know how great he is. I am excited for him when you consider who he may be up against – Joaquin Phoenix , Adam Driver, Christian Bale …. You go Rob! From Variety:

Robert Pattinson will compete in the lead actor category for “The Lighthouse,” Variety has learned exclusively. A24 will submit Pattinson in the lead actor category, with co-star Willem Dafoe in the supporting actor field.

…

While the film is very much a two-hander, Pattinson has more screen time and his character serves as the audience’s point of view. Though he has never been nominated for an Oscar, Pattinson has more than proven his chops since breaking through in the “Twilight” films, working with such directors as David Cronenberg, the Safdie brothers and Christopher Nolan. His choices and performances have drawn recognition, particularly for his turn in 2017’s “Good Time.” In his review for “The Lighthouse,” Variety’s Owen Gleiberman called one scene “the most ferocious acting of Pattinson’s career.”

Variety includes Robert Pattinson in Contention for an Oscar Nomination for #TheLighthouse

We all know Rob was overlooked for Good Time, but maybe just maybe the Oscars may stand up and take notice for The Lighthouse. They can’t possibly ignore the rave reviews Rob’s receiving again. Marc Malkin from Variety definitely agrees with us by suggesting that Rob would be nominated for Best Actor with Willem Dafoe as supporting “There’s no reason he can’t be up for best actor, but we’re going to guess that the studio isn’t looking for a showdown between him and his co-star Robert Pattinson.” Here’s what he had to say about Rob:

There’s still a lot more to see before Oscar voting begins (preliminary voting kicks off on Dec. 6), but until then, here are 11 contenders who could or should be on track for a nomination.

Best Actor
Robert Pattinson, “The Lighthouse”
The former “Twilight” heartthrob continues his penchant for going the indie route with director Robert Eggers’ “The Witch” follow-up. Pattinson, who plays one of two 19th century lighthouse keepers (Willem Dafoe is the other) who descend into insanity while on a deserted New England island, earned some of the best reviews of his career when the film premiered in May at the Cannes Film Festival (MM)
