Blunt, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at Sunday’s 96th Academy Awards ceremony, brought her parents Oliver and Joanna, as well as her husbandJohn Krasinski, to the awards ceremony. TheOppenheimeractress, 41, ultimately did not win Best Supporting Actress — the award went toThe Holdovers’Da’Vine Joy Randolph— but that did not stop her from laughing with her family on the red carpet.

Blunt previously shared in PEOPLE’s annual Oscars portfolio that her parents were “sort of angling for” her to take them to the Oscars after she received her first career nomination for playing Kitty Oppenheimer inChristopher Nolan’sBest Picture-winning film.

“It’s my dad’s birthday that weekend,” she said at the time.

Emily is the second of four children her parents Oliver and Joanna share. Her mother is a former actress and English teacher, while her father works as a lawyer at Furnival Chambers in London, per a biography onLeaders in Law’s website. One of Emily’s sisters, Felicity, is married to herThe Devil Wears PradacostarStanley Tucci.

Though Blunt missed out on her first career Oscar win, she andBarbiestarRyan Goslingteamed up for one of the ceremony’s most amusing presentations when they took the stage tojokingly rib each otherabout the perceivedBarbenheimer"rivalry" as awards season came to a close.

“That’s right, here’sKenandKittyjust leaving all that fodder in the dust,” she said on stage. “And the way this awards season’s turned out, it wasn’t that much of a rivalry, so, just let it go.”

“It’s true, you guys are doing very well, congratulations, but I think I’ve figured out why they called it Barbenheimer and didn’t call it Oppenbarbie,” Gosling jested in turn. “I think you guys are at the tail end of it because you were ridingBarbie’s coattails all summer.”
