I cried when I heard my name nominated for the Academy Award: Nicole Kidman
By MYBRANDBOOK
On finding her name being nominated for the Academy Award, Nicole Kidman is said to have bursted into tears. The 54-year-old actress is vying for the coveted Best Actress award for her depiction of comedy television queen Lucille Ball in Being the Ricardos, alongside Jessica Chastain (The Eyes of Tammy Faye), Olivia Colman (The Lost Daughter), Penélope Cruz (Parallel Mothers), and Kristen Stewart (Spencer).
Kidman described the moment when she found out she was in the running for the Oscars. She said, as per PEOPLE, "We had come back from (her native) Australia; we were jet-lagged. My kids, my husband (Keith Urban) and I were having breakfast, and I thought the next morning was when they were announcing the nominations, so I was not aware," she continued. "And suddenly I get a FaceTime call and my kids are like, 'Your phone's going [off] — someone's FaceTiming you, Mom. And I pick it up and they go, 'You've just been nominated for an Oscar,'” Kidman said.
She claimed that she started crying when she received the news because there's so much emotion linked to the project. Her girls, on the other hand, quickly burst through the cloud. Nicole added as per PEOPLE, "My kids are looking at me like, 'Wow, congrats, Mom. Anyway, we're gonna be late, we gotta get going,'" Kidman said. While preparing to play Ball, the Big Little Lies actor claimed that her family served as her "audience," providing constructive critique.
The actor had previously won the Oscar for Best Actress for The Hours (2002).
Meanwhile, this is Kidman's fifth nomination, after nominations for The Hours, Moulin Rouge! (2001), Rabbit Hole (2010), and Lion (2016). Kidman has previously won a Golden Globe for best actress in a motion picture drama for her performance in Being the Ricardos. She is also nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award for best actress in a motion film.
The 94th Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, March 27 at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre.
