Carey Mulligan nominated for BAFTA's Orange Rising Star Award

The Empire Online reports that the nominees for the Orange Rising Star Award at this year’s BAFTAs have just been announced yesterday morning in London, and it’s another interesting mix of young talent. 

Carey Mulligan,  along with Nicholas Hoult, Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart and Tahar Rahim.

Vote and win! Be sure to VOTE for CAREY!

Mulligan made a splash with An Education last October, but also appears in Public Enemies and Brothers, and has a good Brit-flick CV that includes films like Pride & Prejudice.

The award’s in its fifth year: previous winners (in reverse chronological order) were Clarke, Shia LaBeouf (Carey's boyfriend and Wall Street 2 co-star), Eva Green and James McAvoy. The winner of this, the only BAFTA voted for by the public, will be announced at the British Academy Film Awards on February 21, and we’ll be there to cover the whole thing.
