British icons Carey Mulligan and Gary Oldman have landed Emmy nominations for this year’s star-studded ceremony in Los Angeles.

It marks Carey’s first-ever Emmy nod for her remarkable role in season two of Netflix’s dark comedy series Beef.

Carey, who plays interior designer Lindsay in the series, is up for the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or TV Movie gong.

She will compete in the same category against Claire Danes (The Beast In Me), Sally Field (Remarkably Bright Creatures), Sarah Pidgeon (Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette) and Sarah Snook (All Her Fault).

Beef, which first launched in 2023, saw two strangers get into a road rage incident that brought complete chaos into their lives.

The American comedy-drama series, created by Lee Sung Jin, starred Steven Yeun and Ali Wong as Danny Cho and Amy Lau, who were entangled in a prolonged feud.
