PAULA ZAHN, CNN ANCHOR: With the rush for Oscar gold in full force, our Daryn Kagan sat down with Academy Award nominee, Nicole Kidman.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
NICOLE KIDMAN, ACTRESS: Hi.
DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: Hello.
KIDMAN: I'm squinting because it's so bright.
KAGAN: That's OK. It's just two girlfriends hanging out poolside.
Year of the woman, so many great roles for women.
KIDMAN: I know. Isn't that good?
KAGAN: Yes.
KIDMAN: Really good actually.
(BEGIN MOVIE CLIP, "THE HOURS")
KIDMAN: This is my voice.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It's not your voice.
KIDMAN: It's mine, it's mine, it's mine.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It's her voice that you hear.
KIDMAN: It is not! This is mine! I'm dying in this town!
(END MOVIE CLIP)
KIDMAN: In the Golden Globes, when I was -- I said I want to say not just in film as well in television. I mean, you see these women like Edie Falco, you see all of these, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Catch (ph), I mean, they're all doing such good work, and it's covering all medians and that's really exciting.
KAGAN: So on one hand, it brings everybody together. That makes Oscars fun. But then it turns into a competition.
KIDMAN: Well, it sort of is a competition, but at the same time, it's -- I think the nomination is it. And you know, Julianne and Renee and Thelma and all of us, we just had our photo taken together on a couch, and we were all laughing. And we all kind of, I think, have our heads screwed on the right way and realize what it is and want to support each other. You know?
KAGAN: Is it the singular year, or are we turning a corner for women and their roles?
KIDMAN: I hope. I hope that it continues, you know, because as I said, you know, we're interesting. Keep writing for us, because we are, we're interesting and we're fun. Girls are fun.
KAGAN: Yes, we are.
KIDMAN: So...
KAGAN: And finally, quickly, I just have to ask you about picking out the dress.
KIDMAN: I've already picked it, and I'm simple.
KAGAN: Simple.
KIDMAN: Yes.
KAGAN: We will look forward to that.
KIDMAN: Thank you.
KAGAN: Congratulations.
KIDMAN: OK.
KAGAN: We'll see you on Oscar night.
KIDMAN: Yes, you will.
KAGAN: Good. Thank you.
KIDMAN: OK.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
ZAHN: Simple on Nicole is always elegant. Thanks, Daryn. The Academy Awards ceremony is set for March 23, and of course, Daryn will be there.
