How will Jacob Elordi celebrate his Oscar win?

Jacob Elordi is celebrating his first Academy Award nomination for his transformative role in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, saying the recognition has given him a major boost early in his career.

The 28‑year‑old Australian actor, known for Euphoria, revealed he was asleep when the Oscar nominations were announced and woke up to an excited phone call from his mother. Reflecting on the moment, Elordi said, “I am beside myself … I am so excited, I mean, I’m 28 years old. It’s wind in the sails.” The nomination comes for his role as The Creature in Frankenstein, one of nine nominations the film received at this year’s Academy Awards.

Elordi told The Hollywood Reporter that the character allowed him to explore deep emotional territory. He described the role as something he had dreamed about since childhood, saying it tapped into parts of himself he had wanted to express as an actor for years. “It’s every bit of the dream that I’ve had since I was 12,” he said, underlining how personally meaningful the role was to him.

The actor also shared how he plans to mark the milestone, saying he intends to keep the celebration low‑key and meaningful by spending time with loved ones. He specifically mentioned looking forward to celebrating with his mom and even his dog, emphasizing how special the moment feels in a career that has rapidly gained momentum.

Frankenstein’s critical acclaim and array of nominations have positioned the Netflix adaptation as one of the year’s most talked‑about films, and Elordi’s heartfelt reaction to his first Oscar nod reflects both personal achievement and broader industry recognition.
