Actor Idris Elba says he is not worried about Oscar buzz surrounding his part in "Beasts of No Nation" because he "doesn't really care" about awards.
The 43-year-old actor said he is is not worried if he secures any of the honours, reported Female First.
"If I'm honest, at the risk of sounding 'Uhhh, he don't really care,' I actually don't. We don't start off making films at all with the idea we might get an award.
"It's great that it might be celebrated, but it doesn't actually define me or the film. It's great that Oscars may be happening for us, but I haven't really sort of planned for it. Maybe it comes, maybe it doesn't," Elba said.
