“It’s extraordinary, just wonderful to be invited to the party and feel like you belong to something as glamorous on any kind of a level,” Cumberbatch told ITV1’s Daybreak on the red carpet at the Vanity Fair party. “It’s still utterly overwhelming, it’s extraordinarily sort of high-octane glamour.

“The most extraordinary people who you’ve watched all your life are sort of sitting in the seat next to you or wandering to get a drink, going, ‘Oh, I’ve just seen you in something’, I cannot believe it. And then, lots of them have seen Sherlock, which is great!”

Despite being in awe of the spectacle of the Oscars, Cumberbatch insisted that he didn’t get into the film industry for the glamour.

“I watched an interview with an actress this afternoon saying ‘Oh, I’d sort of dreamt of this as a kid’, but I never did, and to me it’s about work - it’s great that I’m here, but I’m here because I’m working,” he added.
