JAKARTA - Carey Mulligan does not believe the actors who like to say that awards are not important. He said the award was a form of appreciation for actors and filmmakers.

Recently, Mulligan was nominated for Best Actress at Oscar for his role as Felicia Montealegre at Maestro.

"Being a nominee is the coolest thing, because it's given from your colleagues. This is great," Carey Mulligan quoted People as saying.

"And the thousands of actors I meet often say awards are not important and more important jobs? They lie 100 percent," he said.

Carey Mulligan plays Felicia and co-stars with Bradley Cooper who plays Leonard Bernstein in the biopic. The film tells the relationship between the conductor and the actress from Costa Rica.

Mulligan got the role after meeting with Bradley Cooper. In the middle of the meeting, an incident occurred so Cooper took Mulligan to the hospital.

"Carey was on stage and I went backstage to meet him and realized something was not right," Cooper said some time ago.

"When I appeared, one of the properties hit my head. I continued my appearance but when I was done, I started crying. I cried on the floor until Bradley came and took me to the hospital," said Carey Mulligan.

This is the third time Carey Mulligan has received a Best Actress nomination after receiving a nomination for the same category in the film An Education (2009) and Promising Young Woman (2020).
