Marcus Mumford swept his Oscar-nominated wife, Carey Mulligan, off of her feet!

The couple celebrated Mulligan’s third Academy Award nomination after the Oscars 2024 concluded on Sunday night. Mulligan, 38, was nominated for Best Actress for her portrayal of Felicia Montealegre in Maestro.

But after the ceremony, Mumford, 37, paid homage to another Oscar nominee in a Monday TikTok. The Grammy winner carried his wife throughout the hallways while the nominated Barbie song “I’m Just Ken,” performed by Barbie nominee Ryan Gosling, played in the background.

Throughout the video, the Maestro actress giggles in her husband’s arms as he transports her through the building — and serves as the “Ken” to her “Barbie.” While Mumford gracefully takes his wife through the halls, he swiftly dodges oncoming people and corners.

Mulligan was held in her ceremony gown, a black mermaid dress with a scalloped hem over white tulle — a recreation of a 1951 Balenciaga design.

Along with sharing the sweet video, Mumford also celebrated his wife’s achievement in an Instagram carousel on Monday. In a cute photo of the Mumford & Sons singer kissing his wife’s cheek as she beams for the camera. 

Additional photos included Mumford lovingly gazing at Mulligan while waiting in a van. Another image shared a behind-the-scenes moment of the actress getting ready, but Mumford snaps a photo of her through the window. In the peek at her glam process, Mumford is seen grinning from ear to ear in the window’s reflection.

“I’m proud of my wife,” he captioned the post, which he also shared on his Instagram Stories.

The couple married in 2012 and share two daughters and one son.

Mulligan was nominated alongside Annette Bening (Nyad), Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon), Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall) and winner Emma Stone (Poor Things).

Meanwhile, the singer of the popular Barbie hit “I’m Just Ken” was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. He was nominated alongside Sterling K. Brown (American Fiction),  Robert De Niro (Killers of the Flower Moon), Mark Ruffalo (Poor Things) and winner Robert Downey Jr. (Oppenheimer).

While Gosling, 43, brought his “Ken-ergy” for the song’s performance—which got the crowd dancing in their seats—the song lost to another original tune from Barbie. Billie Eilish and Finneas won Best Original Song for “What Was I Made For?” 

The two Barbie songs were nominated alongside “The Fire Inside” from Flamin’ Hot, “It Never Went Away” from American Symphony, and "Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)" from Killers of the Flower Moon.
