The Academy took note of the award-worthy performance of Rooney Mara in the emotionally nuanced CAROL as Mara was announced this morning as one of the nominees for Best Supporting Actress. Joining her five fellow CAROL nominees – Cate Blanchett, Phyllis Nagy, Ed Lachman, Sandy Powell and Carter Burwell – through the film’s publicist, Mara had this to say on her nomination:
To be acknowledged this morning along with Cate, Phyllis, Ed, Carter and Sandy is an incredible honor. Todd made a beautiful and quiet love story with ‘Carol.’ I am proud to have been a part of it and feel privileged to have worked with some of our finest artists and one of our greatest directors.
-Rooney Mara
Blanchett is nominated for Best Actress, Nagy for Best Adapted Screenplay, Lachman for Best Achievement in Cinematography, Powell for Best Costume Design and Burwell for Best Original Score.
