Overview
- Kidman told Jake Shane on the Sept. 10 Therapuss podcast that after winning the 2003 Best Actress Oscar for The Hours she went home feeling “beyond lonely.”
- She described the night as a turning point that made her decide, “I’ve got to get a life,” even as she held what she called the highest prize in her industry.
- Kidman said she did not enjoy the customary Vanity Fair afterparty and recalled feeling overwhelmed, emotional and shaking, a sentiment she previously expressed in Dave Karger’s 2024 book 50 Oscar Nights.
- The remarks were framed against her personal timeline in coverage, which notes her 2001 split from Tom Cruise, a brief relationship with Lenny Kravitz in 2003–2004, her 2006 marriage to Keith Urban and their split and divorce in 2025–early 2026.
- The comments are part of press for Practical Magic 2 and have been widely reprinted by entertainment outlets as reflective promotion rather than newly reported revelations about her private life.
