Maestro’s Carey Mulligan Shares Why Actors Lie About Award Nominations – Deadline

[ad_1]

Teacher Actress Carey Mulligan has broken one of Hollywood’s oldest taboos when it comes to awards season: Never say it matters.

Mulligan, nominated for an Oscar for the third time this year for her role as Felicia Montealegre, Leonard Bernstein’s wife, in the film netflix biopic Teachersaid The London Times of her joy at having been nominated:

“(It) is just the coolest thing. Because it belongs to your colleagues. She is evil.

And all the actors who say that awards don’t matter and that what counts is the work? “They are lying 100 percent.”

Mulligan joined those protesting the omission of Greta Gerwig in the Best Director category for her box office giant Barbie:

“I’m gutted for Greta because I don’t know what else you can do as a director to get nominated. You make a critically acclaimed movie that’s also an incredible global hit and still don’t get nominated?

Both Mulligan and Cooper are nominated for their roles in their film, which tells the story of Bernstein’s marriage and the challenges it faces. Cooper has also been overlooked in the Best Director category, although the film itself received a Best Picture nomination.

Mulligan has received several awards throughout her career, but her most memorable awards night so far came at last year’s Bafta Awards when she was mistakenly declared the winner of the Best Actress award for her role in the #MeToo drama . She said. With shades from 2017. The The Earth/Moonlight Oscar debacle, Kerry Condon was the real winner of the night for her role in The Banshees of Inisherinbut deaf host Troy Kotsur signed the word “Kerry,” the interpreter interpreted it to mean “Carey,” and… they left.

The error was soon corrected, and was not televised, but was clearly remembered by Mulligan, who says she now stood frozen, halfway between standing and sitting, while one of her actor friends, Jamie Dornan, burst into hysterical laughter nearby. Whether she wins or loses at this year’s Academy Awards on March 10, Mulligan is hoping for a quieter evening.
