Patriotic punters are rallying behind Paul Mescal to win the ‘Best Actor’ gong at this year’s Oscars, according to Ladbrokes.

Mescal can currently be backed at 33/1 to receive the award for his role in ‘Aftersun’. Although he faces stiff competition with ‘Elvis’ star and recent BAFTA winner Austin Butler the joint-favourite at even money, alongside Brendan Fraser. Fellow Irish movie star Colin Farrell is rounding off the top three as things stand at 6/1.

Nicola McGeady of Ladbrokes said: ''Paul Mescal sent fans into a frenzy at the premiere of ‘Gods Creatures’ in Dublin last night and following the heartthrobs hotly anticipated return to Ireland, we have seen a recent flurry of Oscars support for the Kildare man.''
