EDIT: Nicole’s reaction to her nomination (thanks ‘eegah’ for commenting with the link):
“What an extraordinary journey this film has taken me on! Rabbit Hole has been a labor of love and I’m so thankful to John Cameron Mitchell, David Lindsay-Abaire and the brilliant cast. This nomination reflects all of the heart and soul that these people have put into it and I can’t thank them enough.”

SO GLAD. She deserves it so much and has been ignored for many brilliant performances in the past few year. It must be so gratifying for her.
