On Sunday, Mulligan, 37, was among six actresses nominated for the London award ceremony’s best supporting actress award for her performance inShe Said. The Oscar nominee heard her name called when a sign language interpreter providing voiceover for actorTroy Kotsur’s presentation accidentally called her name. BAFTA confirmed toDeadlinethat the actual winner,The Banshees of Inisherinstar Kerry Condon, was indeed on the card. The interpreter providing voiceover for theCODAOscar winner appeared to have announced the wrong winner, according to the outlet.
