Palm Springs International Film Awards: Andrew Scott to Receive Desert Palm Achievement Award, Actor, for 'Elsinore'
Palm Springs — The Palm Springs International Film Awards announced on November 9 that Irish actor Andrew Scott will receive this year's Desert Palm Achievement Award, Actor, for his performance in Focus Features' Elsinore. In the film, Scott plays British actor Ian Charleson in the true story of Charleson's final-stage triumph, taking on Hamlet at London's National Theatre as he faced the end of his life.
Festival Chairman Nachhattar Singh Chandi said Scott, "with vulnerability and depth," brings the gifted performer to life in what he called a career-defining performance. Scott has earned a Gotham Award nomination for Outstanding Lead Performance for the role. Elsinore premiered at the Telluride Film Festival in September and went on to win the International People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Elsinore also leads this year's British Independent Film Awards (BIFA) nominations with 12 nods, including Best British Independent Film and Best Lead Performance.
