Rylance has been outspoken on climate change, recently telling The Guardian<\/a> that he was a \u201cbit despairing of government\u201d when it comes to creating a greener economy but feels that the arts can tell \u201cstories to awaken compassion, to awaken people to make a change\u201d.<\/p>\n He also appeared last year in Netflix\u2019s Don\u2019t Look Up<\/a>, an allegory for climate change in which a meteor heading to Earth is downplayed by the media and utilised for political and commercial purposes.<\/p> Don\u2019t Look Up is nominated for four Oscars but in his interview with Radio Times<\/strong>, Rylance said that he won\u2019t be attending the ceremony.<\/p>\n The actor \u2013 who won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar in 2016 for his role in Bridge of Spies \u2013 said: \u201cI don\u2019t think awards are a serious marker of what the greatest or most inspiring things are, but it\u2019s nice to be celebrated. I won\u2019t be going this year. To be honest, [whispers] they\u2019re actually really boring\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Rylance went on to say that his favourite things to watch include MasterChef and Grand Designs \u201cbecause Kevin McCloud is such a character, he makes us laugh so much\u201d.<\/p>\n Rylance is currently starring in The Phantom of the Open<\/a>, a comedy-drama about golfer and hoaxer Maurice Flitcroft.<\/p>\n The Phantom of the Open is in cinemas from Friday 18th March.
