Paul Mescal will be among the honourees at this year's Academy Museum Gala at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles.

US entertainment trade publication Variety says the ceremony on 19 October will see the Irish actor presented with the Vantage Award, which honours "an emerging artist who is contributing to contextualising and challenging dominant narratives in film".

Also on the night, Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony winner Rita Moreno will receive the Icon Award.

Fellow Oscar winner Quentin Tarantino will receive the Luminary Award, which honours "an artist whose work has expanded creative possibilities in cinema".

Incoming Academy Museum director and president Amy Homma said: "The Academy Museum Gala celebrates the power, global impact, and indelible importance of cinema, and I am thrilled we can gather for a fourth year and honour these three amazing artists - Rita Moreno, Quentin Tarantino, and Paul Mescal - whose groundbreaking achievements, filmmaking influence, and demonstrated versatility will continue to inspire generations of artists and filmmakers."

Opened in September 2021, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures was built by Oscars organiser the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Mescal was a Best Actor Oscar nominee in 2023 for his performance in Aftersun.
