DUBAI: Egyptian-British actor Amir El-Masry has been nominated for a British Independent Film Award, organizers announced on Wednesday.
The young star took to social media to express his excitement.
“THIS. IS. MAD. Thank you so much. I am so deeply honored to be nominated alongside all these incredible actors,” he said on Instagram.
His message went on to thank director and producer Ben Sharrock, who El-Masry said is “a true auteur and one of the most genuine people I’ve ever worked with.” The pair worked alongside each other for critically-acclaimed film “Limbo.”
This year has been fruitful for El-Masry. In November, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) announced its 2020 BAFTA Breakthrough Brit awards, with the young actor securing a spot on the list.
