Paul Mescal is in Hollywood ahead of the forthcoming Academy Awards on Sunday.

The Normal People star is nominated for Best Actor for his role in Aftersun at the Oscars.

Ahead of the ceremony, the actor this week attended an LA party with his family.

The 27-year-old went to the Vanity Fair party with his brother Donnacha and sister Nell at Mes Amis on Wednesday (8 March).

Mescal wore an all-black suit, while Nell wore a baby blue tulle dress. Brother Donnacha kept it casual in a red and black checked shirt.

The Academy Awards will take place this Sunday (12 March) in LA. Mescal is up against Austin Butler, Colin Farrell, Brendan Fraser and Bill Nighy for the Best Leading Actor prize.

Everything Everywhere All at Once is the front runner for film nominations, with a total of 11, and war film All Quiet on the Western Front is close behind with 10.
