Carey Mulligan Honored by London Critics

Stepping out for an awards show, Carey Mulligan attended The London Critics' Circle Film Awards at The Landmark Hotel in London, England on Thursday (February 18).

The 24-year-old picked up a big win – as she was named Best Actress for her role in the movie “An Education”.

Also nominated for an Academy Award, Carey recently told of the big accolade: "I mean, I went blank. My head went blank. And then I screamed and started crying. It took a while to sink in. I'm still sort of processing it."

Miss Mulligan continues: "The morning the nominees were announced I went to bed at 2:30 am. I sat up and watched Edge of Darkness and Requiem for a Dream. My idea was to sleep through the nominations, so this way I wouldn't be nervous or disappointed. Well, what happened was my internal clock went off and I woke at five past 5. So, I figured, I might as well brave it and I tuned in."
