Carey Mulligan Nominated For Oscar, Discusses Role In Maestro

96th Oscars Nominations in Beverly Hills

Carey Mulligan's youngest child had an unexpected reaction when she was nominated for an Oscar. Mulligan, who is married to Marcus Mumford and has three children, shared that her baby started crying when her name was announced, amidst the excitement of the moment.

In the movie 'Maestro,' Mulligan, a 38-year-old London-born actress, portrays Felicia Montealegre, the wife of renowned composer Leonard Bernstein, played by Bradley Cooper, who is also nominated for an Oscar. Mulligan found the complex relationship between the real-life couple intriguing, highlighting the challenges and depth of their marriage.

Reflecting on the universality of marriage, Mulligan expressed that every marriage is intricate and can be challenging at times, drawing parallels to the portrayal in the film. Mulligan and Cooper recently discussed the movie, their bond, and shared love for music in PEOPLE's Oscar portfolio.

Music has always held a significant place in Mulligan's life even before her acting career began. She reminisced about singing with her Welsh grandmother, emphasizing the importance of music in Welsh culture. Mulligan, who tied the knot with Marcus Mumford, the lead singer of Mumford & Sons, in 2012, highlighted her deep-rooted connection to music through her upbringing and marriage.

The 96th Academy Awards, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, are scheduled to be broadcast live on Sunday, March 10, from the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California, starting at 7 p.m. ET.
