Paul Mescal loved getting nominated for an Oscar and not campaigning for it
. Behind the scenes, studios pour thousands if not millions of dollars into promoting films and stars for awards, and the performers and craftspeople themselves work basically full time shaking hands, kissing babies, and explaining their process at screenings and interviews coast-to-coast—and all of that is just to get, let alone to actually secure the trophy.
Looking back, Mescal’s first Oscar nomination was just one stop along the way for a star on the rise.
