Kidman also starred in Alejandro Amenábar 's horror film '' The Others '' ( 2001 ) , as Grace Stewart , a mother living in the Channel Islands during World War II who suspects her house is haunted . Grossing over US$ 210 million worldwide , the film also earned several Goya Awards award nominations , including a Best Actress nomination for Kidman . She received her second BAFTA and fifth Golden Globe nominations . Roger Ebert commented that " Alejandro Amenábar has the patience to create a languorous , dreamy atmosphere , and Nicole Kidman succeeds in convincing us that she is a normal person in a disturbing situation , and not just a standard-issue horror movie hysteric . " Kidman was named the World 's Most Beautiful Person by '' People '' magazine . In 2002 , Kidman won critical praise for her portrayal of Virginia Woolf in Stephen Daldry 's '' The Hours '' , which stars Meryl Streep and Julianne Moore . Kidman famously wore prosthetics that were applied to her nose making her almost unrecognisable playing the author during her time in 1920s England , and her bouts with depression and mental illness while trying to write her novel , '' Mrs. Dalloway '' . The film earned positive notices and several nominations , including for an Academy Award for Best Picture . '' The New York Times '' wrote that , " Ms. Kidman , in a performance of astounding bravery , evokes the savage inner war waged by a brilliant mind against a system of faulty wiring that transmits a searing , crazy static into her brain " . Kidman won numerous critics ' awards , including her first BAFTA , third Golden Globe , and the Academy Award for Best Actress . As the first Australian actress to win an Academy Award , Kidman made a teary acceptance speech about the importance of art , even during times of war , saying , " Why do you come to the Academy Awards when the world is in such turmoil ? Because art is important . And because you believe in what you do and you want to honour that , and it is a tradition that needs to be upheld . " Following her Oscar win , Kidman appeared in three very different films in 2003 . The first , a leading role in '' Dogville '' , by Danish director Lars von Trier , was an experimental film set on a bare soundstage . Though the film divided critics in the United States , Kidman still earned praise for her performance . Peter Travers of '' Rolling Stone '' magazine stated : " Kidman gives the most emotionally bruising performance of her career in Dogville , a movie that never met a cliche it did n't stomp on . " The second was an adaptation of Philip Roth 's novel '' The Human Stain '' , opposite Anthony Hopkins . Her third film was Anthony Minghella 's war drama '' Cold Mountain '' . Kidman appeared opposite Jude Law and Renée Zellweger , playing Southerner Ada Monroe , who is in love with Law 's character and separated by the Civil War . '' TIME '' magazine wrote , " Kidman takes strength from Ada 's plight and grows steadily , literally luminous . Her sculptural pallor gives way to warm radiance in the firelight " . The film garnered several award nominations and wins for its actors ; Kidman received her sixth Golden Globe nomination at the 61st Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress
