This is the highest sort of prize you can get in our industry.\u2019 And so grateful and yet so lonely.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\nNicole summed up how she felt at the time as &#8220;weird&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe added: \u201cI\u2019d love to be able to just, you know, be wrapped in somebody\u2019s arms right now. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI\u2019d love to be around now, something that feels really, \u2018Oh, okay.

You\u2019ve got to walk through the party carrying your Academy Award.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI said, \u2018That just feels like gloating, and it doesn\u2019t feel humble.\u2019  Like, what? You can\u2019t walk through carrying the award! That feels really inappropriate. They\u2019re like, \u2018That\u2019s what you do.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cSo I literally walked in, carried it around, was completely overwhelmed, emotional, shaking, and I didn\u2019t enjoy it,\u201d she said. \u201cI was almost apologetic, which is so stupid. I wish I could have enjoyed it more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nNicole also recalled her conflicting feelings about her life at the time.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: \u201cI was struggling with things in my personal life, yet my professional life was going so well.
