One of her favorite experiences from the production of Anna Karenina (2012) was the filming that took place in the countryside outside of St. Petersburg, Russia.

The crew made her take intense language lessons over a period of two months. She succeed in mastering the language and the production was back on track.

Her Oscar nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role, instead of Best Actress in a Leading Role for The Danish Girl (2015), was seen by many as a critical category fraud, as her character, Gerda, has more screen time and more dialogue than Eddie Redmayne's character, Einar/Lili.

"I was on the phone crying at a Starbucks," Vikander recalled. "People thought I was having a breakup with my boyfriend! I said, "No, it's good news! I'm going to have a career!'".
