Nicole Kidman has shared her excitement and gratitude in an exclusive interview regarding her Golden Globe nomination for her role in Babygirl. The actress, who has been a staple in the industry for years, was clearly moved by the recognition. “I really enjoyed this film—it was something else,” she admits, still reflecting on the impact it had on her. “I walked away still thinking about it, which, I believe, is the point of cinema, don’t you think?”
When asked about her historic 20th Golden Globe nomination, she humbly responds, “Unbelievable, right? It means I’ve been around a long time. But to be recognized for this particular performance feels extra special. The film is bold, and it’s lovely to have the support.” She further emphasizes that even before the film’s release, the nominations and growing interest have been immensely encouraging. “We haven’t even premiered yet, and to have nominations already—it’s very helpful.”
In the interview, Kidman also recalled her first meeting with her co-star, Harris, which occurred thanks to their director, Helina. “Your director, Helina, told us she first connected you and Harris via text when you were both at the Met Gala. How did that first meeting go?” the interviewer asks.
“It was very polite and formal, you know, and we can credit Anna Wintour for breaking the ice,” Kidman laughs, recalling the memorable encounter.
The conversation then turns to the film’s daring themes. Babygirl explores a woman’s journey of liberation and self-discovery, and Kidman’s role, in particular, dives deep into her character’s sexuality. “This film is about a woman liberating herself and discovering her sexuality. It’s one of your steamiest roles yet,” the interviewer remarks. “What was it like surrendering to this character and seeing your performance on screen?”
Kidman pauses thoughtfully before responding, “It was really great because we felt very protected by Helina and the whole team. She wrote the screenplay and directed it, creating a very intimate and safe space. At the same time, it was exciting to venture into uncharted territory and explore such a bold and empowering story.”
