Oscar-nominated actor Cillian Murphy has admitted that he has struggled with being in the spotlight, but will be trying to enjoy the Academy Awards ceremony next month.

The Cork-born actor has been nominated for his first Oscar for Christopher Nolan’s epic historical film Oppenheimer, and will face competition for the best actor prize when he goes head-to-head with US leading men including Maestro’s Bradley Cooper.
