In an awkward mix-up, Carey Mulligan’s name was accidentally read out as the winner for Best Supporting Actress instead of the actual winner, Kerry Condon, at the BAFTA Awards on Sunday evening. Th…
The error happened as “CODA” actor Troy Kotsur, who won Best Supporting Actor at last year’s ceremony, introduced the nominees alongside a sign language interpreter. As clips of the nominees’ performances were shown, the interpreter read out Mulligan’s name to cheers and whoops. After a couple of seconds he quickly said: “Kerry Condon…Kerry Condon.” It’s unclear whether the mistake was Kotsur’s or his interpreter’s.
In the room at the Royal Festival Hall in London where the ceremony was taking place, Kotsur’s slip-up received a few murmurs but was quickly swept over, with Condon making her way to the stage in short order. It was her name that was displayed on the screen as winner, which is likely why co-star Colin Farrell encouraged her to go and collect the award.
