Barry Keoghan and Paul Mescal reunite at Oscars event

Irish actors Barry Keoghan and Paul Mescal reunited at a star-studded Hollywood gala on Sunday night.

The stars attended the 2024 Governors Awards at the Dolby Theatre in California.

The annual event is hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to honour film industry veterans who have not received their dues at the regular Oscars ceremony.

It is also seen as the first major stop on the campaign trail for this year's Oscars contenders.

Bird star Keoghan posted a picture of him posing with Gladiator II actor Mescal to his Instagram stories along with two shamrock emojis.

The Outrun and Blitz star Saoirse Ronan also attended the black-tie event wearing a custom Louis Vuitton off-the-shoulder feathered dress.

On Friday night's Late Late Show, Mescal praised fellow Irish star Ronan for hitting "the nail on the head" when she made comments about women's safety during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show.

Mescal told host Patrick Kielty: "I'm not surprised that the message received as much attention that it got, because it's massively important and I'm sure you've had Saoirse on the show, like, she's… quite often, more often than not, the most intelligent person in the room.

"But I think she… was spot on, hit the nail on the head, and it's also good that … messages like that are kind of gaining traction, like that's a conversation that we should absolutely be having on a daily basis."
