The nominations for the 95th Academy Awards have finally been confirmed. In just over six weeks, hundreds of actors, writers and directors from around the world will come together in Los Angeles to recognise the most outstanding achievements in filmmaking from the past year.
Titans of Hollywood including Steven Spielberg, Colin Farrell and Jamie Lee Curtis are going up against a host of exciting new writers, directors, and actors in a bid for the prestigious trophy. Joining these filmmaking veterans in the Oscar discourse is young Irish actor Paul Mescal.
The up-and-coming star has caused a stir over the past 12 months for his performance in a critically acclaimed film, which has seen him already receive a wave of recognition this awards season. The 26-year-old, from Maynooth, County Kildare, had enjoyed a relatively sharp trajectory over the past few years, having only made his feature debut in 2021.
