Interview with The Film Experience Blog

[qiyjia]

Nathaniel Rogers at The Film Experience Blog interviewed Nicole a few days ago, and it's an amazing read because he's such a fan. They talked about Paperboy, and touched on Rabbit Hole, The Hours, Birth (!!), etc. It's quite long so here's the intro part, but the whole thing is on the website...

Nicole Kidman Wore a Tiara To Our Interview

"Nathaniel, it's Nicole!"

After the briefest of pauses in which we both waited for my bewilderment to pass -- Nicole Kidman is calling me (?) -- she let out a hearty familiar laugh, instantly delighting and relaxed. She was, as it happened, a full hour early to our scheduled interview, having just finished a day's filming on Grace of Monaco.

Academy voters will be filling out their nomination ballots online for the first time this year -- they started voting this week and will continue through Thursday, January 3rd. One prays that this shake-up to their old school paper & pen system might also shake up their aesthetic palette. If it does, you'll hear Nicole Kidman's name read out for her genius star turn in The Paperboy. In this polarizing sweaty film, Nicole plays a tawdry beautician with a thing for violent inmates. This is not, as you have undoubtedly ascertained whilst reading about the film, the type of role which is usually nominated. This is, as you will undoubtedly discover while watching the film, the type of performance that deserves to be.

Early in our phone conversation, I shared with her my awe at her latest transformation. "You've gone from Charlotte Bless to Grace of Monaco? Talk about an about-face!". She didn't skip a beat in her quippy response:

"I'm standing here in a tiara and a white beaded dress and Cartier jewels."

As well she should.

I love Nathaniel. I read his tweet about him crying when replaying the interview and listening to Nicoles voice. So cute.
