Lupita Nyong'o, Emilia Clarke and Kate Mara were among the many faces that landed separate covers for Marie Claire magazine's May 2014 issue.

According to Just Jared, the 31-year-old Academy Award winner reflected on her experience when hearing her Oscars category being announced at the big show.

She explained, "I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. It's not even about the outcome; it's about the agony of the unknown. It's like waiting for test results in a hospital."

Meanwhile Emilia Clarke is busy looking forward to her future which she hopes is filled with plenty of kids.

The hot actress admitted, "Personally, I'd like as many children as I can pop out, I reckon. You come from a happy family; you want to create a happy family. And in the same breath, I'd like to be on stage at England's National Theatre, doing Miller and Chekhov.

"Give me a Sam Mendes/Tennessee Williams combination - that would be glorious. And to be making some Oscar-worthy movies with Scorsese."

The "Game of Thrones" season 4 star went on to say, "I'm always looking for the hard road. That way, you remain interested and interesting. Hopefully."

Kate Mara however, is in a stage in which she is still embracing the fact that her signature red hair is gone.

The actress confessed, "I felt relieved getting rid of red - people in my family were saying, 'Red hair is your identity - you'll ruin it!' But I'm an actor.

"I'd shave my head if the part called for it. I love morphing into someone different; it makes you wear makeup differently."

The May issue of Marie Claire hits newsstands on April 22nd.
