Ethan Hawke

Ethan Hawke feels he's been treated like a "king" since being nominated for an Oscar.

The star received a nod this year in the Best Supporting Actor category for his role in Boyhood, and is said to now be getting the royal treatment in New York.

Celebrating his nomination, he went for breakfast with his wife and their children at Junior's restaurant and received applause from fellow diners.

Speaking to the New York Post newspaper's PageSix, a source explained: "He was being congratulated by everyone, and shaking hands. He exclaimed to his server, 'You guys are treating us like kings!'"

The actor also admitted previously however that having your achievements recognised can be challenging.

"I've spent 30 years training for how to handle this, and it's emotionally complex even for me.

"How do you feel if you get nominated, and how do you feel if you don't?"

Referring to his Boyhood fellow actors Ellar Coltrane and Lorelai Linklater, he went on to add: "Whenever the eye of the Zeitgeist turns to you, it's challenging - there's aspects of it that are a little fun, and there are aspects of it that are really confusing - so I feel a great responsibility to help Ellar and Lorelai see what the positive points are and how to ignore the more negative aspects."
