Nicole Kidman was feeling low when she gained massive on the 2003 Academy Awards.
The star shared bittersweet reminiscences of her night for creator Dave Karger’s upcoming guide “50 Oscar Nights,” which is about for launch on January 23 and previewed by People in a narrative revealed Monday.
Having simply finalized her divorce from Tom Cruise on the time, Kidman remembered she was “struggling with things in my personal life, yet my professional life was going so well.”
The feelings all got here to a head when she gained the Academy Award for Best Actress for enjoying Virginia Woolf in “The Hours.”
“Russell Crowe said don’t cry when you get up there and now I’m crying,” Kidman stated in her acceptance speech. Making issues worse, she was performed off stage by the orchestra earlier than even ending her thanks.
Afterwards, the “Big Little Lies” star stated she barely had the guts to attend the famed Vanity Fair Oscar soiree.
“I’m not a big party girl, so I was going to skip the Vanity Fair party, and everyone was like, ‘You’ve got to go. You’ve got to walk through the party carrying your Academy Award,’” she recalled.
Though Kidman feared that may really feel “like gloating,” she pushed herself to make a short look.
The “Moulin Rouge!” star stated she “went to bed alone” that night time, however she would discover love quickly once more.
In 2005, the star met singer Keith Urban. The duo married one 12 months later and have two daughters.
