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” despite the career high.
- She said holding the trophy prompted the realization “I’ve got to get a life,” and that she wished she had a partner to share the moment with.
- The comments were framed against her personal timeline, including her 2001 split from Tom Cruise and her 2025 separation and January 2026 divorce from Keith Urban.
- Kidman has previously described the same awkwardness at the Vanity Fair afterparty and recounted similar feelings in Dave Karger’s 2024 book 50 Oscar Nights.
- The remarks came during publicity for Practical Magic 2 and have generated reflective coverage rather than reporting any new personal developments.
