Here are some more photos of Nicole Kidman in YSL at the Oscars luncheon yesterday. I know many of you disagree with me (that’s part of the fun of it!), but I still like the print and the color, and my main problem is with the fit and weird cut of the top. Anyway, Nicole has some new interviews today. The first one is just more of Nic’s Marie Claire interview, which we covered last week. These quotes are new, though:

She’s celebrating her Oscar nomination for her role in Rabbit Hole now, but ten years ago, Nicole Kidman admits she was in a very bad place. Kidman opened up even more at the Cinema Vanguard Awards this past weekend about her painful 2001 split from ex-husband Tom Cruise. She recently told Marie Claire UK she was “really damaged” after the divorce.

At the time of the break up, Kidman, 43, was making the 2002 film The Hours. “I was so depressed…I did not want to do it,” recalled Kidman. She attempted to back out but the film’s producers wouldn’t let her. “So I had to show up in England and I think my inner turmoil was very much a part of the things that [my character] was going through as well.” Her pain paid off: She won a Best Actress Oscar for her portrayal of author Virginia Wolff in the film.

Alluding to Cruise, 48, Kidman joked that she appreciates obsessiveness in directors, but “not necessarily in a husband.” Yet despite the couple’s split, Kidman did praise Cruise’s work ethic while filming Eyes Wide Shut.

“Poor Tom. He worked every single day on that film and that’s extraordinary…I remember him just not wanting to let Stanley down and just whatever it was going to take, it was going to take,” said Kidman.

Kidman’s now happily married to country music star Keith Urban, 43. She recalled hearing of her recent Oscar nod while at home with him and their two daughters, Sunday Rose, 2, and Faith, one-month old. “Suddenly they said my name and Keith was like ‘yeah!’ and jumping around the kitchen and Sunday was like, ‘wh-wh-what’s happening? Why are you crying?’ She goes, ‘why are we sad?’ and I said ‘no we’re not sad Sunday, we’re happy.’ So that will be my memory of this nomination: My daughter and my husband jumping around the kitchen.”

Ugh, Eyes Wide Shut. That turd of a movie. I remember the gossip that Kubrick needed to hire some kind of sex therapist for Nicole and Tom for their “love scene”. And I do remember those scenes being extremely awkward, although I do give Tom credit for befriending Kubrick and working with Steven Spielberg to carry on Kubrick’s legacy. Whatever.

At the luncheon, Nicole also told reporters that her daughter Sunday is going to be picking out her Oscar dress: “Sunday Rose has a pretty strong opinion, and she chooses what she calls ‘pretty dresses.’ She has a strong voice in what I’ll be wearing on the night of the Oscars. Fingers crossed, I could be wearing a tutu.” Oh, God. Nicole, no pink, for the love of God. Wear something gorgeous and epic and bright. Stop with the frills and the pastels.
