Meanwhile, Nicole told Variety that her fifth nomination in this category is "a thousand times more [exciting than the other nominations]. I don’t know if that’s age or having a 13-year-old and 11-year-old who understand a little bit what it is," she said to Variety. "My husband, who is so much a part of all this, and having a family to celebrate with, it’s extraordinary. I find as I get older, everything gets more intense."

Nicole also earned praise from Lucille Ball's own daughter, Lucie Arnaz, who described Kidman's performance as, "astounding."
