Carey Mulligan has criticised the film industry for what she regards as a lack of leading roles for women, saying that she’s “fed up” of having to settle for playing the role of a wife or girlfriend in movies.

The former Oscar nominee and star of films such as Drive and The Great Gatsby, 32, is taking on a leading role in the BBC’s new drama series ‘Collateral’. Speaking at a screening of the show in London on Wednesday night (January 17th), Mulligan explained why she’s increasingly interested in the small screen rather than the cinema, saying it affords her a chance to play a “fully rounded, flawed, interesting person”.

“I think for the most of female actresses I know it's just about going where the better writing is,” she said. “Films have tended to provide a lot for men in terms of great leading roles and not so much for women.”

Jennifer Lawrence has revealed that she had to get “really, really drunk” in order to marshal her nerves ahead of filming a sex scene with fellow Hollywood A-lister Chris Pratt, because he’s a married man. She explained that the scene, for their upcoming movie Passengers, is the “most vulnerable I’ve ever been.”

“I got really, really drunk,” she revealed in a new feature with The Hollywood Reporter, but that didn’t end up solving the problem. “That led to more anxiety when I got home because I was like, ‘What have I done? I don't know’.”

British star Carey Mulligan was among the winners at the 19th annual Hollywood Film Awards for her central role as Maud in the new movie Suffragette, a laundry worker who joins the fight for the right for women to vote.

The 30 year old star, who gave birth to her first child with husband Marcus Mumford just a few months ago, won Best Actress at the 2015 edition of the gongs, which are the first major ceremony in a long run of black-tie events leading up to the Academy Awards on February 28th.

The Hollywood Film Awards winners are announced in advance and are not televised, but prominently features movies not on general release and are a reasonable indicator of what will be on offer during awards season.

In the past year, Carey Mulligan has turned 30 and given birth to her first child, daughter Evelyn with her husband, musician Marcus Mumford. And she's also had two of the strongest roles of her career, playing resilient women in a new film version of Far From the Madding Crowd and the voting rights drama Suffragette.

She likes taking long gaps between films, mainly because so few roles grab her attention. "I don't find a large amount to work with," she admits. "The majority of things that come along are accessories like girlfriends and wives - so dull and not real, not much to sink your teeth into."

Suffragette immediately grabbed her attention, highlighting a little-known period of British history. "I had no idea they were beaten, imprisoned, blew up bridges, went on hunger strikes," she says. "We have a very muted picture of happy women with banners marching down the street!"

After a long period of silence surrounding the birth of her first child, big screen star Carey Mulligan finally confirmed that she is the mother of a baby girl born “three weeks ago”.

30 year old Mulligan, who is married to rock star Marcus Mumford, appeared on the ‘Graham Norton Show’ at the weekend and confirmed that she had given birth to their daughter in September. The British actress never actually confirmed that she was pregnant, with the media speculating in April as she appeared in public in a series of loose-fitting tops hiding her baby bump.

A source told Us Weekly at the time: “They weren't planning on announcing, but she hasn't stopped working. Everybody around her is being very supportive. The show ends soon and they're going back to England after.”
