Jared Leto as Rayon

FESTIVAL BUZZ: With his band Thirty Seconds to Mars about to hit the Rock in Rio, iTunes and iHeartRadio Festivals, and with new single “City of Angels” happening at Alternative radio, Jared Leto is also the subject of … Oscar speculation? Yep, the rocker’s performance in the critically adored indie film Dallas Buyers Club has sparked talk of a Best Supporting Actor nomination since its 9/7 premiere at the Toronto Film Festival. “If there is one actor everyone is suddenly talking about, it’s Leto,” Deadline Hollywood’s Pete Hammond wrote from Toronto, describing Leto’s character, Rayon—a transsexual living with HIV/AIDS—as “the role of a lifetime with at least two killer scenes that scream OSCAR to me.” The L.A.Times declared, “One of the great revelations in the film is Jared Leto,” who “balances the showiness of the role with … subtle humanity, and the crowd demonstrated its appreciation.” Check out the trailer here.
