The 'Much Ado About Nothing' actor Emma Thompson has recently opened up about campaigning to win an Academy Award and how it made her "seriously ill."

"Both times I had to do the Oscars, I got seriously ill," Thompson said in an interview with Radio Times. "I found the pressure and glare of it too much. It's astonishing. And then afterwards, you want to lie down in a dark room. You think, 'Please don't ask me any questions or make me talk about myself.' I quickly developed a sort of allergy to that part of the job," reported Deadline.
