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 possibly that doesn’t embrace the one she gained her Oscar for. It was superb, in fact, however it didn’t embed itself in my coronary heart the way in which a few of her different performances have. So listed here are my prime 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’ll’t and gained’t inform uncomfortable truths with out moralizing. Every part must be as much as code in order that the unsuitable individuals aren’t insulted and nobody is offended. However there was a time when filmmakers might inform tales, and To Die For is a good satire. It’s all in regards to the mixture of true crime and movie star, one thing we had been oddly fascinated by within the Nineteen Nineties however that appears so frequent now as to be strange.

It’s primarily based on a real story of a trainer who seduces her college students to kill her husband. An awesome forged, 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 motive they performed Diamonds are a Woman’s Finest Pal 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 gown, 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, together with her corkscrew curls and her very Aussie accent. The rationale this movie is so watchable is Kidman. Anybody who noticed her had little doubt she can be a power to be reckoned with.

Huge Little Lies

It’s potential the work on this collection is the perfect performing Kidman has ever achieved, although it’s slightly unusual it comes so late in her very lengthy profession. Every part got here collectively for her on this. It was precisely the correct character at precisely the correct time. She steals the present.

Far and Away

Okay, so it isn’t the best film, however it’s a whole lot of enjoyable to look at and bear 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 prime 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 can be simply as enjoyable to look at studying the telephone e book as she is taking part in a juicy position.

Like, who wouldn’t watch this?

I imply, what can I say. They broke the mould after they made Nicole.
