In the end, Maestro didnt win much this awards season and it didnt pick up even one award at the Oscars. I found it overwrought and poorly written, but Bradley Cooper did his best to hype it and Carey Mulligan dutifully campaigned. Carey has a real knack for looking lovely but not standing out, which is surely a choice shes making. She continued that last night in a black Balenciaga strapless mermaid gown with a tulle hem. She paired it with black opera gloves. This is one of those classic gowns thats not going to be on anyones best dressed lists but is phenomenal looking with impressive details. I love the scalloped slightly asymmetric bottom and how the gown hugs her curves perfectly. Careys husband Marcus Mumford was with her inside the ceremony and he looked so proud of her, it was nice to see.
Michelle Yeoh got the flashier Balenciaga, a sequin one shoulder number which she also accessorized with opera gloves. She was one of the Best Actress presenters, she introduced Sandra Huller, and you could tell she was having fun this year. Michelle is goals on so many levels and I love this gown. She looks phenomenal.
Bradley Cooper was looking coiffed and plucked in a Louis Vuitton suit. He brought his mother to the Oscars of course, and Kimmel made a little joke about them in his opening monologue, saying How many times can a man bring his mom as his date before he is actually dating his mom? I guess you know what youre getting when you date Bradley Cooper, and Gigi Hadid gets the pap pics while his mom gets the red carpet.
Gabrielle Union was vision in a streamlined silver metallic Carolina Herrera look that was actually two gowns in one. I heard in the red carpet coverage that she asked to put the mini dress with that skirt, which was a smart choice. Gabrielle and Dwyane Wade were producers of the Oscar nominated short film The Barber of Little Rock.

Carey Mulligan is mostly flying under the radar as an Oscar nominee this year, maybe because the Best Actress race is currently a giant mess and if there is an upset, it will be Lily Gladstone losing to Emma Stone. Sandra Huller who should have been the leading contender in the Oscar race has barely campaigned, so Carey is sort of stepping into the void of ?just happy to be here? nominees. And Carey is genuinely happy to be here. Her nomination for Maestro is her third Oscar nom, all in the lead category. She?s probably right up there with one of the best actresses to never win an Oscar. Carey recently chatted with the Times of London about the nomination, her marriage to Marcus Mumford and her religion:
She watched the Oscar nominations announcement live in the UK: She watched this year?s Oscar nominations announcement live, with her ?heart racing?, in the Devonshire farmhouse that she shares with her husband, the singer-songwriter Marcus Mumford (of Mumford & Sons). He had placed round the TV screen Post-it notes containing encouraging mottos such as ?You?re great!? just in case. The Oscar nomination, she says, ?is just the coolest thing. Because it?s from your peers. It?s wicked.? And the thousands (literally) of actors that I?ve met who say that awards don?t matter and that it?s the work that counts? ?They are 100 per cent lying.?
On the ?Barbie? Oscar snubs: ?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 film that?s also an incredible global success, and yet you don?t get nominated??
On the ?Saltburn? Oscar shutout: ?I went to the Saltburn premiere in LA and I sat with Em and there were 1,700 people having just the greatest f***ing experience, so I don?t know. I think the main takeaway is just how incredibly it was picked up. Initially, people didn?t know how to respond and then suddenly it took over the internet and now it?s become this enormous phenomenon where you can buy candles [on Etsy and Amazon] called Jacob Elordi?s Bathwater.?
Bradley Cooper made her stop hanging out with the crew & joking around: ?I always loved being one of the lads with the crew, and I never wanted to isolate myself from people by doing anything excruciating like staying in your dialect between takes,? she says. Cooper, apparently, disabused her of this notion. ?He said, ?There?s no other way to do this, you cannot flip between these two people.??
She?s fine with talking about her husband, Marcus Mumford: ?I find it easier now because when we were first married I was really conscious of thinking, ?I am not part of a celebrity couple. That?s just weird.? And we were both trying to build our careers in our own rights.? She says that the ?no marriage questions? policy has outlived its usefulness or relevance, especially now, ?when we?ve been married for ever, and he came to the Golden Globes with me, and I bring him to the big things because it?s just more fun when he?s there?.
She & Marcus met at a kids? Christian camp: ?I don?t think I would describe myself as super-super-Christian. But I was definitely brought up going to church and I still go to church, but it?s not, like, a hot topic. I?m very happy to say that I?m Christian and I go to church.?
She?s not a cinephile: She was, and still is, ?not a cinephile in any way. To this day I?ll make time to watch The Traitors, but I?m not watching lots of films.? She?s also an award-winning theatre actress, but, she says, having three children under eight mostly rules out a return to the stage. ?It would have to be in a school holiday window.I thought it would be harder when they were little to do it, but missing bedtime at the end of the day, when your children are a little bit older, is trickier.?
[From The Times]
Re: her comments about Greta Gerwig, there?s this really weird thing being done on the internet where, whenever anyone talks about how disgusting it is that Gerwig and Margot Robbie were snubbed, certain people are like ?stop talking about them, you should be paying more attention to the people who were nominated!? And then the actual nominees are inevitably like ?wow, those Barbie snubs were fking brutal and sexist.? Juliet Triet did it too, so did other nominees. I think the Barbie-haters have really underestimated what a big deal it is that Gerwig was snubbed especially. And Carey is right those awards matter, the industry approval matters, and people are lying when they say the noms or awards don?t matter. That?s why the snubs matter too.
As for what she says about needing to stay in character on Maestro? like, I understand the technical reasons for it, but Bradley Cooper always sounds like such a douche as a director. While I know Lady Gaga played up the stories about him, he was an ahole to her too. Also: I did not know that she?s quite Christian, but I?ve noticed that she talks more about Marcus these days and they?re more open now. I think that?s really nice.

Carey Mulligan wore Armani to the SAG Awards, and I saw many people highlighting this as one of their favorites of the night or one of the best of the night. Eh. Don?t get me wrong, it?s pretty and flattering and I love that she went for a more ?mainstream? look with Armani. But I think people are just reacting to that she?s rarely in a relatively simple column dress in a color other than black. The gold was a good choice though! She does look very good.
Jessica Chastain also wore Armani. There?s this thing where, for the year or two after an actress has had a really successful awards season, they show up to present awards and they wear the most boring ?don?t pay attention to me? styles ever. That?s where we are with Jessica this is her ?I?m just here as a presenter, I?m not trying to get attention? look.
Selena Gomez wore Versace honestly, one of the best looks I?ve seen on Selena in a long time. She often goes too cutesy or with styles which aren?t flattering for her curvy figure. This is va-va-voom, adult-woman styling. It?s good to remember that when you have a bigger bust, this is a very flattering style.

For years, Hollywood has been batting around the idea that a movie will be made about Harvey Weinstein?s fall from the top of Hollywood. The movie pitches veered from dumb to offensive, and the speed with which they were pitched to the trade papers was pretty offensive too. Like, Weinstein?s victims were still coming out and telling their absolutely heart-wrenching stories of being raped, abused and harassed and dude-bro producers were like ?damn this would make a great movie.? Well, Plan B and Universal has finally figured out a way to thread this disgusting needle: they?ll make a movie about Weinstein?s fall, but the movie will actually be about the two NY Times reporters who exposed Weinstein as a serial predator. Plan B and Universal has secured the rights to Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor?s book, She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement, and the studio is talking to Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan to play Twohey and Kantor.
Nearly four years after New York Times reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor broke the bombshell Harvey Weinstein sex scandal report, Hollywood looks ready to tell the story of how these two reporters persevered to break this game-changing story. Sources tell Deadline, Universal Pictures is prepping She Said, a new drama based on the New York Times bestseller She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement and is in negotiations with Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan to star as Twohey and Kantor. The film is set to begin production this summer and will be directed by Unorthodox director Maria Schrader to helm with Oscar-winner Rebecca Lenkiewicz penning the script.
Everyone remembers when the bombshell first story ran on October 5, 2017 when Kantor and Twohey revealed an array of alleged sexual harassment and assaults against women by The Weinstein Company co-chairman and indie film mogul Weinstein that dated back decades. The article included details of hush money paid to cover up the sexual indiscretions and first-person accounts by actresses accusing Weinstein of non-consensual sexual indiscretions. The article would not only lead to Weinstein being fired by the TWC board and eventually found guilty and sentenced to 23 years in prison for rape but also spurred the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements that are still making major impacts across the world while also completely changing the landscape of Hollywood forever.
The thrust of the film isn?t Weinstein or his scandal. This is about an all-women team of journalists who persevered through threats of litigation and intimidation, to break a game-changing story, told in a procedural manner like Spotlight and All the President?s Men.
In 2018, Annapurna Pictures and Plan B Entertainment optioned the rights to She Said under their co-production deal. Oscar nominee Megan Ellison will executive produce for Annapurna with Sue Naegle. Oscar winners Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner will produce for Plan B.
[From Deadline]
Yeah, Plan B is Brad Pitt, and in the first NY Times articles, Brad?s exes Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow went on the record about Weinstein harassing them. Both Jolie and Paltrow did so to give backup to Weinstein?s other victims and to lend their credibility to Twohey and Kantor?s reporting. Which they did. It was months and months of coverage too, not just in the Times (with Kantor and Twohey?s reporting), but Weinstein?s victims told their stories to Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter, Variety and New York Magazine, among other publications. If done correctly, this could definitely be more of a Spotlight-type of film, and I?m saying that as a compliment (I loved Spotlight, it?s a great movie). It will be about the sensitive work of exposing predators and convincing women that they will be protected if they come forward, that people will have their backs. It?s about journalism and women and surviving abuse. God, I hope they keep it smart.
As for Carey and Zoe as the choices to play Twohey and Kantor? they don?t look anything like Twohey and Kantor, but I don?t find that to be such a big deal. There?s an opportunity to do something fresh here, and I like that they?re hiring two actresses who are friends in real life and who have already worked together a few times.

I didn?t really have any fashion expectations for Oscar-nominated Best Actress Carey Mulligan. The last time she did an awards season, it was 2010 and I still remember how twee she went with her fashion and styling. More than a decade later, she?s married to Marcus Mumford, she?s a mom and she seemed pretty pleased with Promising Young Woman. She really worked to promote it, and she even engaged in some Oscar campaigning. But even then, I wasn?t expecting THIS moment, where she went Full Oscar in a bold, gold Valentino gown with a bandeau top. This feels so out of character for her! But I like that she went for it, and honestly, she pulled it off? This gown was a big moment on a somewhat scattered red carpet and Valentino got the shade of gold right. This is the perfect tone/hue for a white woman with blonde hair. If they had gone a shade lighter, they would have washed her out. A shade darker and it would have been too jarring. I also love that she?s happy enough to bring her husband Marcus Mumford out as her date! It?s nice to see them do a red carpet together.
Zendaya also got a Valentino bandeau-top dress, although hers seemed more like a party dress than an Oscar gown. Nice stuff: Zendaya is really beautiful and young, which means she can make some weird fashion look cool; the color is beautiful and bold; you could tell that she liked her look a lot. Bad stuff: this IS more of a party dress than an Oscar dress, and I think the actual design and construction of the dress is kind of terrible. If she had changed into this for the Vanity Fair Oscar party, it would have been fine. But for the Oscars? Nah.

Carey Mulligan was at the Sundance Film Festival to promote Promising Young Woman, a revenge-fantasy film about a woman who ?traps? men into committing crimes on her body and then she gets her revenge on them? somehow. The trailer is a bit vague about that, but it looks like an interesting movie, and it was directed by a woman, Emerald Fennell. Carey chatted with Variety about her move to work with more female directors, and the state of Oscars So Bro, meaning? no women directors nominated for Oscars.
Carey Mulligan has made a conscious decision in recent years to collaborate with female directors, from Sarah Gavron (?Suffragette?) to Dee Rees (?Mudbound?). On Saturday night at the Sundance Film Festival, she?ll unveil ?Promising Young Woman,? a thriller written and directed by Emerald Fennell, about a heroine out for revenge after experiencing a traumatic abuse.
?I?d never read anything like it,? Mulligan said during an interview at the Variety Studio at Sundance. ?Reading it for the first time, sort of made me nervous in a really good way, in a way that makes me excited to be part of something.?
Fennell served as the showrunner for the second season of ?Killing Eve,? and she?s making her debut as a movie director with ?Promising Young Woman.? Mulligan was then asked about this year?s Academy Awards, which once again nominated five men in the best director category despite a banner year for films made by women.
?I don?t think you can watch those films and not think they deserve recognition,? Mulligan said. ?I think they need to be watched. I wonder if the system works in terms of getting sent 100 screeners. Maybe you shouldn?t be allowed to vote unless you can prove you?ve seen every single one. There should be a test. The films that did get left out are indisputably brilliant.?
Mulligan elaborated: ?I?m talking about ?Hustlers,? ?Little Women? and ?The Farewell.? I feel like the fact that they are getting made is progress. But it?s all baby steps.?
[From Variety]
This is an argument made by Stephen King as well, that there?s no way to know if Oscar voters are actually watching all of the screeners or going to all of the screenings. As we saw a few months ago, there were significant complaints from producers that few Oscar voters (if any) were going to the Academy and HFPA screenings of Little Woman and Queen & Slim. So how can the nomination and voting process be ?fair? if voters don?t even WATCH films starring women, directed by women, or telling stories with any kind of female narrative? Probably the same way those same bros vote in elections they just pretend women don?t exist and vote for the most toxic bro. See: Smallhands, Donny.

Here are some fashion photos from last night?s Moet British Independent Film Awards. In years past, this show has been pretty well-attended, but last night was? eh, kind of blah. Tom Hiddleston was nominated and he didn?t show up (he was filming Kong: Skull Island, I?m assuming). Tom Hardy was nominated and he won, but he didn?t even bother coming out. There were some half decent fashion photos though, so let?s get to it.
Carey Mulligan easily won my Worst-Dressed Award for the night. I actually like Carey?s quirky style because even when her gowns are bad, they?re still interesting. That?s how I feel about this Gucci gown ? it?s so obviously hideous and terrible, but I kind of like her more for wearing it like it?s an amazing piece.
I LOVE Saoirse Ronan. I can?t wait to see Brooklyn. I think Saoirse is actually going to be a major Best Actress contender this year, and she took home the Best Actress prize at this event. Her sparkly cocktail dress is Burberry and it?s perfect! Honk if you want me to do more coverage of Saoirse!
Marion Cotillard in Dior. See? why doesn?t Jennifer Lawrence try out one of these sleeker Dior looks? This would look fantastic on J-Law. It looks good on Marion too, of course, although I think her hair is struggling a little bit.
I don?t have the ID on Helena Bonham Carter?s dress. I would actually be sort of shocked if this was a new piece, considering it looks like something that has been hanging in her closet for years. I mean? she?s HBC. She?s beautiful.
Remember when Agyness Deyn was a thing? She was the It Model a while back. Like, she was the Cara Delevingne of 2007. Now she?s an actress. Her dress is custom Giles Deacon. The dress is okay, but the dominatrix shoes do not go with it.
Laura Carmichael (Lady Edith) in Christopher Kane. I love this!

| | Carey Mulligan on feminism: it feels 'like a new word, people are afraid of labels' | | Added 8 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Carey Mulligan has done a decent job of staying away from controversy. It is not that she doesn’t have an opinion, she simply acknowledges that her opinion may not be your opinion. Carey is talented and wishes to be judged primarily on her merit as an actor. However, as she is promoting a movie called Suffragette, it is expected the bulk of her interviews will be on feminism. But what happens when your very famous co-star came out with nonsense statements on feminism while promoting a film on feminism? Well, you get to play clean up in the most judicious way you know how:
On American vs. English feminism: ? I?ve been between America and London with it and I don?t think the definition of feminism is different between the two locations. Recently, it has felt like a new word? People are afraid of labels and I think this year they?re starting to reclaim what the word originally meant, in a positive way that?s interesting.
On Jennifer Lawrence?s statement about pay inequality: I think it?s a good thing for someone like Jennifer to speak out; it means an awful lot to women. Sure, there?s been cynicism toward her speaking out and the fact that she makes a lot of money, but she is completely and selflessly rising above that. (The discrepancy) is inherently unfair and she has an enormous platform to speak out against it. Men in Hollywood look up to her because she is powerful. She?s using that platform to correct something that isn?t right. It?s a long overdue conversation and it?s admirable what she has done. This is an age-old issue that?s in every part of society.
On movies claiming female empowerment but aren’t: … young people today are bombarded with images that I didn?t have when I was growing up. There are some that pertain to female empowerment and others that do not. Young kids are looking to these characters as some sort of a role model…
[from Deadline.com]
I thought Carey was fantastic in Never Let Me Go and she surprised the hell out of me in Shame. I know we don?t know each other very well and I hope you won?t let this color your judgment of me but I liked her as Daisy in The Great Gatsby. Carey has been more outspokenabout her stance in the past. She came out strong on the Jennifer Lawrence question and makes a good point about a person in Jennifer?s position speaking up. It’s too bad she has to dance around the definition of feminism and false messages.
She does mention going to other countries with Suffragette and that it was not lost on her that young women need to be reminded not to take their right to vote for granted; this should have been the t-shirt slogan used to promote Suffragette instead of this.

It?s slightly amusing to me to see that someone at the studio told Meryl Streep that she needs to take a big seat and not say anything else for a while. After Meryl took a big dump on feminism last week, the Suffragette producers must have been like, ?Well, this was unexpected. I guess Carey is going to have to do more.? These photos are from last night?s NYC premiere of Suffragette ? Meryl didn?t even come! It was just Carey Mulligan, really. Carey wore this Alexander McQueen dress which is? sort of boring, actually. It?s Sarah Burton-for-McQueen, so that explains it.
It?s amazing to see Carey out and about and hustling for this film considering she literally just gave birth a few weeks ago. All we know about when she gave birth was that it happened in September and it was probably mid-to-late September, considering she was begging off of an appearance at Telluride in early September because she still hadn?t given birth. While Carey appeared on The Graham Norton Show over the weekend, she also confirmed that she had a girl and that she gave birth ?three weeks ago.? And now we know the name too?
EVELYN. Evelyn Mumford. Because Carey?s husband is Marcus Mumford of the Mumford & Sons. Carey told ET that the name Evelyn has no real family significance, she just ?came up with it? on the fly. It sort of reminds me of the non-drama of Keira Knightley?s baby-naming. Keira didn?t announce she had given birth for a while, and then she sort of dropped the name to a media outlet like it was no big deal. Keira had a little girl too, and she named her daughter Edie. Considering Keira and Carey are good friends, don?t you believe that Edie Righton and Evelyn Mumford will grow up together and by BFFs for life?
