She's nominated for an Oscar. It's just Ken. In a sweet video from the 2024 Oscars on Sunday (March 10), Marcus Mumford took a swipe at Carey Mulligan — whose performance in Music teacher she was nominated for best actress this year — in an adorable ode to Greta Gerwig Barbie.
The video finds the Mumford & Sons frontman carrying his wife through the backstage rooms of the Dolby Theatre, where the Jimmy Kimmel Awards were held. Mulligan repeatedly throws her head back in laughter as her husband steps forward, making sure her black and white dress doesn't touch the floor.

Along with Mark Ronson, Slash of Guns N' Roses, Wolfgang Van Halen and some of Ken's fellow actors, the Notebook The star delivered a Kenergetic showcase with choreography, backup dancers, Barbie head cuts and hilarious crowd work.
