Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor Jessica Chastain and Peter Sarsgaard have both officially entered the Oscar race for their extraordinary performances in Michel Franco’s “Memory.” However, the awards campaign has announced that Sarsgaard’s riveting turn as a man suffering from Alzheimer’s disease will be submitted for supporting actor consideration at the major ceremonies, including the Golden Globes, SAG and Academy Awards.
His Oscar-winning co-star Chastain (“The Eyes of Tammy Faye”) will vie for lead actress. Written and directed by Franco, the film was recently acquired by Ketchup Entertainment for North American distribution and will receive an Oscar-qualifying run in December.
It premiered at the 80th Venice Film Festival, where Sarsgaard received the Volpi Cup for best actor from the Jury, joining the ranks of past honorees such as Brad Pitt (“The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford”) and River Phoenix (“My Own Private Idaho”).
It was later screened at the Toronto, SCAD and AFI Film Fest. In supporting, Sarsgaard, who’s never been nominated despite strong works in “Shattered Glass” (2003), “Kinsey” (2004) and “An Education” (2009), will face off against the likes of Robert Downey Jr. (“Oppenheimer”), Ryan Gosling (“Barbie”) and Robert DeNiro (“Killers of the Flower Moon”).
