The drama – which has been co-executive produced by Nicole – has been nominated for a further 13 awards including Outstanding Limited Series.
Nicole said creating the show was an intense experience, and that she finds it ‘painful’ to watch.
‘It’s deeply uncomfortable and it is complicated, which is what I wanted to make,’ she said, according to The Daily Telegraph.
‘The role entered my psyche in a way that I didn’t want it to, but it just did.
‘I was lucky that I have Keith (Urban), who I could go home to and who is very solid.’

She has co-star Reese Witherspoon, Jessica Lange, Susan Sarandon, Carrie Coon and Felicity Huffman as competition for the award.
Nicole paid tribute to Reese, who she lived next to for five and a half months while the pair were shooting the series.
The actress said the pair would often share dinners and stories together, and that ‘so much’ of their friendship shows on screen.
