Andrew Scott will receive the Mill Valley Film Festival’s Acting Award for his performance in “Elsinore,” a film portraying Ian Charleson’s acclaimed performance as Hamlet. The film focuses on Charleson’s life and work before his death in 1990 during the AIDS crisis.
The Mill Valley Film Festival (MVFF49) will present the award to Scott on October 3 at the Smith Rafael Film Center. The festival, presented by the California Film Institute, runs from October 1-11 across Marin County and the Bay Area. The Spotlight program, which recognizes standout work by film artists, will host the presentation.
“Devastating and miraculous, Andrew Scott gives the performance of a lifetime as an actor racing mortality to claim Hamlet before the curtain falls,” said Mark Fishkin, founder and director of the Mill Valley Film Festival. Rose Kuo, the festival’s artistic director, added: “Andrew Scott’s interpretation…is witty, superbly passionate, and profoundly moving, becoming a meditation on mortality and the art of acting itself.”
“Elsinore,” also starring Oscar winner Olivia Colman, will be released in theaters on November 20. Clayton Davis, Variety chief awards editor, believes Scott’s role in “Elsinore” is “the role of Scott’s career” and could earn him his first best actor Oscar nomination, after being overlooked for “All of Us Strangers.”
Scott has previously received a SAG-AFTRA Actor Award for “Fleabag” and three Olivier Awards for his work in “Vanya,” “A Girl in a Car with a Man” and “Present Laughter.” In 2024, he earned Emmy, Golden Globe and Critics’ Choice nominations for “Ripley” and was the first person to win Critics Circle lead actor prizes in both film and theater in the same year for “All of Us Strangers” and “Vanya.” He recently starred in Focus’s “Pressure” and “Wake Up Dead Man,” as well as Richard Linklater’s “Blue Moon,” for which he won the Berlin Film Festival’s Silver Bear award.
