Mulligan: 'I've never been a party girl'

Carey Mulligan has reportedly revealed that she has never been a "party girl".

The An Education star, who was beaten in the 'Best Actress' category by Sandra Bullock at last night's Oscars, said that she struggles with being in the spotlight.

Showbiz Spy quotes the British actress as saying: "I do find the 'It' thing weird though and 'It' girl to me has always meant somebody who is like a socialite. It girl implies a party girl to me, which I'm not really."

She added: "The other stuff is just beyond strange for me. That is difficult for me to comprehend. It's good. It just feels very weird."
