Nicole Kidman talks about the 2003 Oscars win

While attending the Oscars 2026, Kidman recalled some of her best moments at past award ceremonies, including her Best Actress win in 2003. Talking about it, she shared, “There was Moulin Rouge, The Hours, The Others. It was overwhelming at the time, but it was incredibly exciting as well.”




Over the years, the star has talked about how big a deal her 2003 win was, but more so, it was a hard time for her personally. While appearing on ‘The Jess Cagle Show’ in 2024, the actress recalled feeling very lonely when she first returned home with the award.

She opened up about having no love in her life and being unable to celebrate it properly. She recalled thinking at the time, “I need a new life. Please. I'm sitting here, and I don't have anyone, as I say, to jump on the bed with. There are certain times when you just go, ‘I need to jump on the bed.’”
