Paul Mescal nominated for Oscar for role as Edinburgh dad in Aftersun

Paul Mescal has been nominated for an Oscar for his role as an Edinburgh dad in Aftersun.

The Irishman is up against the likes of Colin Farrell and Austin Butler in the Best Actor category, reports the Daily Record.

The nomination follows Mescal's role in the 2022 drama Aftersun set in the early 2000s. The film centres around an 11-year-old Scottish girl Sophie, played by Frankie Corio, who is on holiday with her dad, Callum, played by Paul Mescal, at a Turkish resort on the eve of his 31st birthday.
