Is it time for the “Hawke” to swoop in and nab his Oscar prey?
After four Academy Award nominations spanning both acting and writing, Ethan Hawke may have found the role that finally earns him an Oscar. In Richard Linklater’s “ Blue Moon ,” the actor delivers a searing performance as lyricist Lorenz Hart, one half of the legendary Broadway songwriting team Rodgers and Hart.
The film premiered in February at the Berlin International Film Festival , where Hawke’s co-star Andrew Scott won the Silver Bear for best supporting performance. “Blue Moon” has since screened at the Telluride Film Festival , where Hawke received one of the festival’s Silver Medallions — a distinction that has proven to be an Oscar bellwether.
