Many had anticipated that she would also secure a nomination for Best Actress in a Film for Babygirl, but the spot went to Cynthia Erivo, Karla Sofía Gascón, Angelina Jolie, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Mikey Madison, and Demi Moore instead.
Nicole’s Babygirl co-star Antonio Banderas recently praised her dedication to the craft, particularly in handling the film’s intimate and emotional scenes. He spoke about how she created a "safe environment" on set while working alongside director Halina Reijn.
"She’s able to completely let go and be vulnerable in front of the camera," Banderas shared. "It’s extraordinary to see an actor embrace a role so fearlessly." He acknowledged the challenges of filming such a raw and emotionally charged movie, emphasizing the importance of trust between actors in those moments.
