The nominees have been announced for the 2023 Bafta Scotland Awards, with the Paul Mescal-led drama Aftersun leading the pack with five nominations.

Directed by Scottish writer/director Charlotte Wells, the celebrated coming-of-age film follows an eleven-year-old Scottish girl (Frankie Corio) as she reconnects with her 30-year-old father (Mescal) at a Turkish resort.

Alongside Paul Mescal's Best Actor nomination, his costar Corio was nominated for Best Actress. The film was also nominated in the Best Feature Film, Best Direction (fiction) and Best Writer (film/television) categories.

Aftersun has collected over 100 nominations since its release, including Best Actor Oscar and BAFTA nominations for Mescal earlier this year.

The ceremony is set to take place on November 19, with Edith Bowman returning as host. The Director of BAFTA Scotland Jude MacLaverty spoke about the nominations: "Our nominations this year reflect the incredible standard of work and creativity that is possible with support for, and investment in, the Scottish screen industries, and the individuals who are committed to telling stories that can reach and resonate globally.

"From first-time nominations for debut performances to beloved screen veterans, it is so encouraging to see such a diverse range amongst our nominees. Congratulations to all and we can’t wait to celebrate our nominees and winners at the BAFTA Scotland Awards on Sunday 19 November!"
