When the English folk rock band took home the coveted Album of the Year award for Babel, Mulligan couldn't hide her excitement. The 27-year-old Great Gatsby star gave her man a huge hug before he made his way to the stage. During Mumfords' acceptance speech, the cameras caught Mulligan appearing to wipe away a tear while cheering loudly.

"We figured we weren't going to win anything because The Black Keys have been sweeping up all day, and deservedly so," the lead singer said onstage.
