Award season: Rotten Tomatoes wants to remind Oscar voters of 16 roles they shouldn’t forget- such as Rob’s performance as The Dauphin in #theking The Role: The brash and abusive French prince, the Dauphin. Why It’s Award-Worthy: Much was made of Robert Pattinson’s French accent when The King premiered at the Venice Film Festival, but if you get distracted by that, you may lose sight of how transformative he is in the role. Detestable and seductive, Pattinson’s Dauphin insults the stoic King Henry V (Timothée Chalamet) mercilessly. And according to Chalamet, it was so deeply insulting that he had no problem staying in character, i.e., hating him. A comedic but essential part of the narrative, the Dauphin is the (mostly) unseen but constant antagonist to every move Henry makes, and Pattinson runs away with every scene he’s in. We loved his work in The Lighthouse, but this role, campy and over-the-top in all the best of ways, is just as electrifying.
