The question is, will awards voters acknowledge he’s right? PREDICT the 2022 Oscar nominees through February 8 “I’m on top of my game right now on, like, every single possible level,” Rex-as-Mikey says in an early part of the “Red Rocket” trailer. On Tuesday, the studio released the film’s first trailer, a blast of energy that puts Rex center stage and showcases his performance. But that could change in the months ahead, especially now that A24 has started the public campaign for “Red Rocket” in earnest. It’s a high-wire act throughout, a performance that notably recalls Adam Sandler in “Uncut Gems” (a Best Actor snub last year) and also former Best Actor nominees Leonardo DiCaprio (for “The Wolf of Wall Street”), Christian Bale (for “American Hustle”) and Bradley Cooper (for “Silver Linings Playbook”).ĭespite the early praise, however, Rex hasn’t cracked the Gold Derby odds in any meaningful way: among Best Actor contenders, he ranks 21st in the combined predictions between users and experts, behind even long-shot stars like Clint Eastwood (for “Cry Macho”) and Michael B. But the trick of Rex’s hyperverbal and wired performance is that he’s able to charm viewers (and the film’s characters) into thinking he’s doing the right thing. Indeed, throughout “Red Rocket,” Mikey makes a number of reprehensible choices - including trying to entice a young woman, breakout actress Suzanna Son, to join him in the porn world. Mikey is a “character that you simultaneously love and hate,” Davis wrote. At Variety, the publication’s awards expert, Clayton Davis, urged academy voters to consider Rex in the category despite the film’s subject matter - which includes sex work, drug use, and characters who seemingly hold conservative politics. Awards expert Dave Karger wrote on Twitter that Rex gave the best male performance among films that debuted at the Telluride Film Festival, where “King Richard” with Smith, “The Power of the Dog” with Cumberbatch, and “Belfast” with Jamie Dornan, all screened. For The Hollywood Reporter, awards columnist Scott Feinberg has Rex among his early Best Actor nominees (the caveat being that Feinberg hasn’t yet slotted in contenders like Washington because he had yet to see the film at the time of initial publication). “Simon Rex is sensational in ‘Red Rocket,’” read a headline on Richard Lawson ’s rave review of the film after its debut at the Cannes Film Festival.
