“I’m delighted and honoured to bestow this award on John Travolta for his performance in The Fanatic,” the festival’s artistic director Antonio Monda stated. “It’s a stirring and surprising performance that succeeds in showing how dreams often turn into nightmares in Hollywood.” In the thriller, Travolta plays Moose, a fan obsessed with an actor, Hunter Dunbar. The Rome Festival award is surprising considering the movie has been panned left and right by critics. Its 18% score on Rotten Tomatoes and 17 Metascore have positioned it upfront as a contender for next year’s Razzie awards. [Deadline] Contribute Hire me
