Paul Mescal has reacted to his co-star Andrew Scott’s BAFTA snub.
The nominations for the upcoming awards ceremony were announced on Thursday, but Andrew was surprisingly excluded from the shortlist.
While Paul was nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category for his role in their new movie All Of Us Strangers, Andrew didn’t receive a Leading Actor nod.
Fans were outraged over the snub, and took to social media to express their anger over his exclusion.
Paul also subtly reacted to the snub by posting a photo of Andrew on his private Instagram Story, before celebrating his own nomination.
Sharing a screenshot of Paul’s post on X, a fan wrote: “Paul Mescal sharing Andrew Scott on his stories after the BAFTAs snub before celebrating his own nomination. A real one.”
