Nicole Kidman burrowed her way down the red carpet at her “Rabbit Hole” premiere and delved into the Oscar buzz surrounding her performance. Kidman showed up with her husband, Keith Urban, as her date on Thursday night in New York. Kidman said premieres can still be nerve-wracking for her and appreciated having Urban accompany her to the event. “It’s nice to have [my] best friend [here],” said Kidman.
“Rabbit Hole” portrays a couple, Becca and Howie Corbett (Kidman and Aaron Eckhart), who suffer an abrupt loss in their family that throws them into a journey to recover the happy life they once had. The Oscar winner was humble when asked about her chances of winning a second Academy Award at the ceremony, which airs Feb. 27. “You never know, and you just hope for the best,” said Kidman.
“I suppose the biggest thing for me is that the film connects with people, because I feel very strongly that the film is special.” Eckhart relished the opportunity to share screen time with Kidman. “It’s a great project,” said Eckhart. “It’s really an actor’s dream to engage in this kind of material with such great actors.”
