The 33-year-old actor plays American army medic Desmond Doss
in the Mel Gibson-directed "Hacksaw Ridge", which tells the true
story of how Doss served on the front lines in Japan during the
Second World War without carrying a gun and saved 75 lives.
It is expected to feature on the Oscar nomination list, released
on Tuesday, with Garfield happy for the attention after previous
struggles following his BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations for
"The Social Network" in 2011.
"I'm a bit older so I feel a bit more comfortable in those
rooms," the California-born and British-raised "Spider-man"
actor told Reuters at a screening of "Hacksaw Ridge" in London
on Wednesday.
"I'm not as panicky because it's an overwhelming thing ... It's
very stressful but this time it's been kind of fun and fine and
enjoyable and I feel a bit more comfortable."
"Hacksaw Ridge" has grossed $157 million globally since its
world premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September and
opens in British cinemas on Jan. 27.
