Actress Nicole Kidman ate alone in her hotel room the night she won an Oscar in 2002 as she recalled "struggling" with her personal life despite the professional high. The 56-year-old actress won an Academy Award for her role in drama film `The Hours` in 2002 but had not long split from Tom Cruise - with whom she has Isabelle, 30, as well as 28-year-old Connor - and recalled "struggling" with her personal life despite the professional high as she opted to just go back to her hotel after her victory at the ceremony.
In an excerpt from Dave Karger`s upcoming book `50 Oscar Nights` , she said: "I was struggling with things in my personal life, yet my professional life was going so well. That’s what happens, right? I’m not a big party girl, so I was going to skip the Vanity Fair party, and everyone was like, ‘You’ve got to go. You’ve got to walk through the party carrying your Academy Award`
