Paul Mescal cosies up to his glamorous girlfriend Gracie Abrams on the red carpet at the Oscars after Hamnet actor was snubbed in nominations

by

Paul Mescal and his girlfriend, Gracie Abrams, looked very affectionate with each other while walking the red carpet at the 98th Oscars on Sunday.

The 30-year-old actor, known for his role in Hamnet, looked sharp in a black suit featuring silk lapels and a relaxed bow tie.

Twenty-six-year-old singer Gracie looked stunning in a beaded crop top and skirt, completing her outfit with a flowing chiffon scarf.

The couple started dating in 2024 and have generally kept their romance private.

Paul is attending the Oscars because of his acclaimed film, Hamnet, where he portrays William Shakespeare. Despite the film’s success, he wasn’t nominated for a Supporting Actor award.

The film was nominated for several awards at the 98th Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and earned Best Actress (Jessie Buckley) and Best Director (Chloé Zhao) wins.

Hamnet is a historical drama inspired by Maggie O’Farrell’s popular novel. It tells the story of Agnes and her husband, and their grief over the death of their eleven-year-old son, Hamnet, who died from the bubonic plague.

Conan O’Brien, age 62, is back to host the show for the second year in a row, having taken the position from Jimmy Kimmel.

Ryan Coogler’s film, Sinners, received an unprecedented 16 Academy Award nominations, making it the most nominated film ever in the awards’ history.

The horror movie is nominated for Best Picture, along with nine other films: Bugonia, F1, Frankenstein, Hamnet, Marty Supreme, One Battle After Another, The Secret Agent, Sentimental Value, and Train Dreams.

I’m so excited to see Michael B. Jordan nominated for Best Actor for his role in ‘Sinners’! He’s going up against some incredible talent – Timothée Chalamet from ‘Marty Supreme’, the legendary Leonardo DiCaprio in ‘One Battle After Another’, Ethan Hawke with ‘Blue Moon’, and Wagner Moura from ‘The Secret Agent’. It’s going to be a tough competition, but I’m really hoping Michael takes home the win!

Sinners, a film set in 1930s Mississippi, centers around twin brothers – both portrayed by Jordan – who come home to find their hometown plagued by a terrifying supernatural force.

Jessie, the Irish actress, is currently the favorite to win Best Actress for her performance in Hamnet. She’s up against strong competition from Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs I would Kick You), Kate Hudson (Song Sung Blue), Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value), and Emma Stone (Bugonia).

Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another earned 13 nominations.

The film received several nominations, including Best Director, as well as acting nods for Leonardo DiCaprio (Best Actor), and Benicio del Toro and Sean Penn (both for Best Supporting Actor).

This darkly humorous action movie centers on a former revolutionary (Leonardo DiCaprio) who’s been living in hiding. He’s pulled back into the world when his old enemy—a dishonest military officer (Sean Penn)—targets his daughter, forcing him to come to her rescue.

In addition to Penn and del Toro, Jacob Elordi (for his role in Frankenstein), Delroy Lindo (from Sinners), and Stellan Skarsgard (Sentimental Value) are also nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
