Andrew Scott Elevates Elsinore to Front-Runner Status in Oscar Race

At Telluride, Andrew Scott delivers a career-defining turn as Ian Charleson in Elsinore, shifting the Best Actor race into frontrunner territory and challenging John Malkovich’s earlier edge. Feinberg notes the performance is sensitive and shattering, and the film could draw nominations across acting, editing, score, screenplay, and even Best Picture, while touching on the historic possibility that Scott could become the first openly gay Oscar winner if voters respond.
