British actor Bill Nighy said he is “grateful for the spotlight” his first Academy Award nomination brings to his latest film, Living.

Despite his long and impressive career, his first Oscar nod comes with his portrayal of a veteran civil servant who is inspired to make the most of his remaining days, following a life of tedium, alongside Sex Education star Aimee Lou Wood.
