Over a decade later, Carey Mulligan may finally be able to return to an Oscars ceremony as a nominee with “Promising Young Woman.” In 2009, the London-born performer delivered her break…

In 2009, the London-born performer delivered her breakout role in Lone Scherfig’s “An Education” and mustered an Oscar nomination for best actress. Since then, she’s been caught in what I call “one-nomination purgatory” – a place where talented actors are held and, despite awards-worthy turns, can’t muster enough buzz to nab their second nomination. Since 2010, she’s missed out on mentions for “Shame,” “Inside Llewyn Davis” and “Wildlife,” garnering outstanding reviews but coming up short.

With streamers dominating this year, Focus Features may be one of the top contenders to make headway in the best picture race, if enough welcome its difficult subject. Sexual assault and violence against women are nothing to take lightly, but Fennell balances her film with a darkly comical undertone that allows it to be vividly enjoyable. Not sure if this will be widely accepted as it stands.

I feel like I’ve heard about this movie for 10 years at this point

She should've won for An Education and Drive

They stopped inviting her? Rude.
