LOS ANGELES (Oscars Official Website) - From Salma Hayek to
Nicole Kidman and all the women of "Chicago," it's a golden day for Oscar�s new gals. Kidman says, "You just have a memory of the Academy Awards as this dreamlike thing. It seems like such a faraway land and to actually be stepping into it is astounding."
"Extra" was in London with Nicole Kidman. Seated alongside director Stephen Daldry, Kidman shared her reaction to her Best Actress nomination for "The Hours." She says, "Gotta call my mum. That's always my first thought."
Nicole has got some tough competition. She will be up against "Frida" star Salma Hayek, "Chicago's" Renee Zellweger, "Unfaithful�s" Diane Lane, and Julianne Moore.
If a nod for Best Actress in "Far From Heaven" wasn't enough, Julianne tops the list of Best Supporting Actresses for "The Hours." Kathy Bates in "About Schmidt," Queen Latifah and Catherine Zeta-Jones for "Chicago," and the venerable Meryl Streep in "The Hours" were also nominated.
Though snubbed in the Best Actress category, Streep still managed to make history: her 13th nomination breaks Katharine Hepburn's record of 12. Nicole Kidman says, "She deserved a double nomination I think."
If you're keeping score, "Chicago" is the big winner with 13 nominations, "Gangs of New York" grabbed 10, and "The Hours" clocked in with nine nods.
There was also a little respect for "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." Nia Vardalos is nominated for Best Original Screenplay. While celebrating on the set of her upcoming TV spin-off, Nia revealed she shared the news with her producers Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson.
As for the men, Jack Nicholson is back with nomination number 12, Michael Caine gets his fourth, and Oscar gangs up on Daniel Day-Lewis with his third nod. "Extra" caught up with Nicolas Cage in London, just moments after he learned his roles in "Adaptation" put him in that elite group of leading men.
Cage says, "I heard my friends and colleagues in the other room and there was like a cheering sound and then the door opened and then they said it happened. So there was this sort of big excitement."
Cage and company will be up against Adrian Brody, who got his first nomination for his role in "The Pianist." Brody says, "I'm honored and humbled."
Brody tells "Extra" he was sound asleep this morning when a friend called him with the news. He says, "I was like, I hope they're not calling to tell me I didn't get a nomination, then I�d be really angry."
It was also a big day for the visionaries. Leading the Best Director nominations is Martin Scorcese for "Gangs of New York." Surprisingly, he's never won an Oscar. Roman Polanski was nominated for "The Pianist." He is a fugitive living in France and would be arrested if he came to the ceremony.
Rob Marshall was also nominated for "Chicago," which got the most nominations overall. "Extra" spoke to Marshall in Paris. If "Chicago" wins, it would be the first musical to get "Best Picture" since "Oliver" in 1968. Marshall says, "I was just hoping my first feature film would be ok, that a few people would come see it."
John C. Reilly was also glowing after getting his first nomination as Best Supporting Actor in "Chicago." He's just one of the characters in the best supporting category.
Reilly rivals include Paul Newman, Christopher Walken, Ed Harris, and Chris Cooper. The first person John called was his mom. He says, "She was screaming, really happy. It's just a joyous time."
