And right here’s Meryl Streep introducing her (courtesy of Clayton Davis) and Graeme O’Neil, who has to supply commentary or else he’ll get a copyright strike. I can’t discover another footage on-line.

I believed I might take this chance to speak about what I take into account to be Nicole Kidman’s greatest performances, and doubtless that doesn’t embody the one she received her Oscar for. It was superb, after all, nevertheless it didn’t embed itself in my coronary heart the way in which a few of her different performances have. So listed below are my high ten Nicole Kidman performances.

To Die For

Has there ever been a greater position for Nicole than Suzanne Stone?

It’s bittersweet as a result of Hollywood doesn’t make motion pictures like this anymore. They will’t and received’t inform uncomfortable truths with out moralizing. Every thing must be as much as code in order that the improper individuals aren’t insulted and nobody is offended. However there was a time when filmmakers may inform tales, and To Die For is a superb satire. It’s all in regards to the mixture of true crime and superstar, one thing we have been oddly fascinated by within the Nineteen Nineties however that appears so widespread now as to be odd.

It’s primarily based on a real story of a instructor who seduces her college students to kill her husband. An important solid, together with Joaquin Phoenix in an early position and Matt Dillon.

Moulin Rouge

This is perhaps Kidman’s most well-known efficiency. There’s a cause they performed Diamonds are a Woman’s Greatest Buddy when she took the stage on the AFI. How does one even start to explain this efficiency? It’s lovely, romantic, tragic, naughty… It’s the hair, the costume, the voice — unforgettable.

Useless Calm

Early on in Kidman’s profession she performs a badass on a ship. She was younger and simply beginning out, along with her corkscrew curls and her very Aussie accent. The rationale this movie is so watchable is Kidman. Anybody who noticed her had little question she could be a power to be reckoned with.

Huge Little Lies

It’s potential the work on this collection is the most effective appearing Kidman has ever achieved, although it’s a bit unusual it comes so late in her very lengthy profession. Every thing got here collectively for her on this. It was precisely the fitting character at precisely the fitting time. She steals the present.

Far and Away

Okay, so it isn’t the best film, nevertheless it’s lots of enjoyable to look at and keep in mind the times of Tom and Nicole. They met on Days of Thunder after which made this movie collectively. It’s additionally a kind of journey epics we don’t see a lot of anymore, even when Kidman later made Australia with Baz.

These are my high 5 favourite performances of Nicole Kidman’s however she is an actress I’ll watch in something. She’s paid her dues after which some, and could be simply as enjoyable to look at studying the telephone ebook as she is taking part in a juicy position.

Like, who wouldn’t watch this?
