Jared Leto has said that, while his Oscar has led to new opportunities in Hollywood, he is not overly concerned with the trophy itself.

The Irish Film and Television Awards (IFTAs) are almost upon us, and this year sees a stellar line-up gracing the red carpet.

U2 are nominated for best song at the Oscars, while Philomena - the story of an Irish mother searching for a son she gave up for adoption - has been nominated for Best Picture, Actress in a Leading Role, Screenplay, and Original Score.
