Tilda Swinton has claimed that her Academy Award win is not important.
The We Need to Talk About Kevin star, who won an Oscar in 2008 for her role in Michael Clayton, confessed that the accolade was relatively meaningless to her.
"When I brought my Oscar home and showed the children, nobody knew what it was," Swinton told W Magazine. "The thing sat on the kitchen table for two weeks. It was kind of meaningless to them."
However, Swinton admitted that the award helped advance her acting career.
"It did move me up from the children's table, professionally, in Hollywood," the 50-year-old said.
Swinton previously said that she is grateful for her Oscar win. She added that being the recipient of such a prestigious statue had its benefits.
Swinton, who is the mother of twins, accused movies of romanticising childbirth earlier this year, claiming that the process is actually "violent".
