Nicole Kidman is "really grateful" for her Golden Globe nomination.

The 57-year-old actress has been shortlisted for the Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama, award for her work in 'Babygirl' - in which she plays CEO Romy, who puts her career and family at risk when she embarks on an affair with an intern - and she's happy to have got the nod because it helps raise awareness of the film to audiences around the world.

She told 'Access Hollywood': “I’m just really grateful that we’re included as a film because we get to go and it brings enormous amount of attention.

“It’s global the way in which people respond to the Golden Globes. I got texts from all over the world going congratulations so that shows the power of it."

The movie features a number of raunchy scenes between Nicole and her co-star Harris Dickinson, but she didn't want to offer any opinions on the film as she feels it is up to audiences to decide how they feel.

She said: “It’s hard for me because I’m in it. I just love that everyone has different responses to different scenes and that makes it an experience."

Meanwhile, Harris, 28, admitted the interpretive dance scene he has in 'Babygirl' deliberately had no choreography so that it didn't feel "forced".

He told the outlet: “The song was already in the script, so I just turned up and did it.

“You can’t choreograph that moment really. I think it had to be very normal and straight forward. I don’t think you can try and do some elaborate choreographed movement because then it becomes a little bit forced, I don’t know."

Nicole recently admitted she found it "really beautiful" to be offered a role as a "sexual being" in her 50s and she thinks her character is very "relatable".

She told The Hollywood Reporter: “A lot of times women are discarded at a certain period of their career as a sexual being. So it was really beautiful to be seen in this way.

“From the minute I read it, I was like, “Yeah, this is a voice I haven’t seen, this is a place that I haven’t been, I don’t think audiences have been.

"My character has reached a stage where she’s got all this power, but she’s not sure who she is, what she wants, what she desires, even though she seems to have it all. And I think that’s really relatable.

“There are many women who are going, ‘Well, I’ve done this, I’ve got children, I’ve got this husband, and what do I actually want? Who am I and what are my desires? Do I have to pretend to be something else for people to love me?’

“I think it’s very releasing, this film. I hope it is."
