Now, here's another one where he interviews Carey . Read on and watch the video (follow the link!)... Meet Carey Mulligan: 'An Education' leading Lady A top candidate for breakout actress of the year is certainly Carey Mulligan , the 24-year-old Brit who’d only had supporting parts in two films (she was one of Keira Knightley ’s little sisters in Pride & Prejudice ) when she scored the plum lead role in An Education (in theaters next Friday , Oct. 9 ). As precocious London schoolgirl Jenny, Mulligan not only holds her own opposite castmates Peter Sarsgaard, Emma Thompson, Alfred Molina, and Sally Hawkins, but she completely carries the film, which was written by novelist Nick Hornby and directed by Danish filmmaker Lone Scherfig. And as you’ll see when you click play on Part 1 of our OscarWatch inter

The Score Card Review , she got the most favorable review and highest score than her co-stars: Rosamund Pike as Maggie: OK, now here’s a solid attempt at acting. Pike’s role bears a considerable amount of weight in this case. She puts up a fight (through said surrogate), and … look, I know it sounds confusing, but trust that Pike actually isn
