Andrew Scott Elevates Elsinore to Oscar Contender Status at Telluride

At Telluride, Andrew Scott’s searing turn as Ian Charleson in Elsinore catapults him into the top tier of the Best Actor Oscar race, with observers noting the performance could make him the first openly out gay actor to win an Oscar, though John Malkovich’s age and Elsinore’s broader nominations keep the race open; Olivia Colman and other craft categories are also discussed as potential nods, but Scott’s work dominates the talk.
