HEIDI COLLINS, CNN ANCHOR: Hollywood's gold rush is underway as the countdown continues to the March 23 Academy Awards ceremony. One actress in an enviable role is Diane Lane, enjoying her best actress nomination for the steamy marital drama "Unfaithful."
She sat down with our Daryn Kagan to talk about the Oscar experience, and euphoria.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: I want to go with you on this ride a little bit, because we had a chance to talk, I saw you on the day that the nominations were announced. We had that visit over at the Four Seasons.

DIANE LANE, ACTOR: Yes.

KAGAN: What's the ride been like?

LANE: I miss my mom. Other than that, it's everything that -- that one would hope. I mean, it's the most glamorous couple of weeks I have ever had in my life, that's for sure.

You're not allowed to wear the same thing twice. So you go through all these incredible outfits, and I didn't realize that being an actress was such a -- so much about what you wear.

KAGAN: I was talking to Nicole Kidman earlier, and she was talking about this picture. Did you guys all get together and take a picture on a couch?

(CROSSTALK)

LANE: Yes, together. All of us (ph) together.

KAGAN: Tell me about that.

LANE: It was an interesting moment because the moment itself was being filmed, and they had to go. They had to go. Because it was taking us out of our moment. It was our moment. It was just us girls, and you do, and they said we would have that. So in a way, it was -- it was about sharing it almost before you have it. And it's very much like that, this moment, because for all of us, the first thing you do is answer, How do you feel? And you haven't figured it out for yourself.

KAGAN: Such an incredible year. I mean, everyone is talking about -- this is the year of the woman, and so many great roles, to be among those actresses, and to be included in that -- was there like a pinch me moment with that?

LANE: When I am live with all the girls, and we sat there and we took a photo together, there was definitely a pinch me moment, because they're real. I know them as movie stars and great actresses, and vulnerable people who make me feel things on their behalf. They manipulate me emotionally, and I feel like I know them in that star- struck way. So that was a pinch me moment because I was one of them.
