'Nicole Kidman' had only 27-min to own the screen in THE HOURS and I think she made every minute into a "masterpiece". Everybody knows how excellent the station scene was. Bravo, 'Nic'!
+Sami Brady Everybody is entitled to his or her opinion. And it's everybody's right. You can argue. As I already told you under 'Holly Hunter' OSCAR® speech video, I'll always respect other people's opinion. But at the end of the day, it was 'Nicole' who won not only OSCAR®, also Golden Globes, BAFTA, Silver Berlin Bear, and many more. Btw, one piece of advice, writing your opinion under other people's comments doesn't make your opinion a fact. Good day, mate.
Totally agree! On Hollywood you have big actors but they always play the same character with the same personality. There is no challenge, no brave in doing this... But Nicole Kidman (for example) plays everything and it's very risky and show how talented she is and that she is a real actress.
***** NIcole Kidman sure has come along way after her divorce she wins an oscar and she has proven herself to be quite an actress! I am so happy for her! She was nominated for Moulin Rouge in 2001
***** I hope you're being sarcastic. "Underrated"? Let's see... She has been given an Academy Award for Best Actress--considered to be the highest honour an actress in the American film industry can receive. That alone is enough for me to prove Kidman isn't underrated, but I'll go on... In addition to the Oscar award, Kidman has received an additional two Academy Award nominations, two Golden Globe awards and a BAFTA. At her peak, Kidman was getting paid more than 17 million dollars per film (notice I said "getting paid", because it's not the same as "earning", which she doesn't). She gets publicity even when she's NOT making movies, which helps with her exposure and, by extension, negotiating-table power. She gets to be in all sorts of movies she doesn't deserve to be in. She even has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Do you know how many people more deserving than Nicole Kidman do NOT have a star on the Walk? Dustin Hoffman. Denzel Washington. David Lynch. Clint Eastwood. Wait, let me says that again: CLINT EASTWOOD! More than fifty years in films, director of two Academy Award winners for Best Picture, right up there with John Wayne as one of the most iconic actors of all time...NO STAR! Also, Kate Winslet only got her star just last year (FIVE YEARS after winning an Oscar...Nicole Kidman got her star BEFORE she even got an Oscar!) despite the fact she has long been a bigger box office draw than Kidman. Glenda Jackson, TWO TIME Oscar winner for Best Actress...no star! Jon Voight doesn't have a star, either, ditto his daughter, Angelina Jolie--and they're both Oscar winners, too. Julie Christie has no star. JULIE CHRISTIE! She won an Oscar before Kidman was born...and KIDMAN gets a star? What complete bullshit. I can only hope Julie Christie doesn't mind. Warren Beatty doesn't have one, either--geez, who did those two upset back in the day? Also, the part of Kidman's speech from 2:38 is possibly the biggest load of self-serving bullshit I've ever heard. No, the Oscars ceremony is NOT about "art". It's about a bunch of overpaid celebrities patting themselves on the back, sometimes undeservedly so. By mentioning the "turmoil" of the world, and attempting to excuse herself for attending the Academy Awards with all the "wars" going on, all she's doing is trivialising those problems, and sounding totally insulting at the same time. I wish Paddy Chayefsky had been there to cut her down to size. For fuck's sake, couldn't she just say "thank you", take the overpriced doorstop, and piss off back to her seat? You know what Clark Gable said when he won his Oscar? "Thank you"...and that was all. Weren't Oscar recipients told several years before Kidman's win to cease and desist from "political comment" when accepting an Oscar? I guess when your name is Nicole Kidman, you get a free pass. The band should've drowned her out. And no, the tradition doesn't need to go on. Marlon Brando refused his second Oscar, as did George C Scott with his only Oscar win. Woody Allen has won four Academy Awards (over the course of three ceremonies) and wasn't there to accept ANY of them. The Oscars aren't so important as many believe. Hey, great if you get one, and some Oscar gongs were VERY well-deserved, but please, don't act like you've just saved a friggin' rain forest. Films were made before the Oscars. Film would still be made even if the Oscars were to disappear. And Kidman has the audacity to consider herself an "artist"? How can she be any sort of artist in the world of acting when her face has all the suppleness of a Bakelite dish? You need to look up the word "underrated" in the dictionary. Nicole Kidman is quite possibly the most OVERRATED actress in Hollywood.
Underrated as in likability by general US moviegoers. She hasn't been getting the good roles as of late and it took more than a decade to start finally getting those roles at her peak. Underrated isn't always about what you win. Because people have won that are overrated. Denzel to name one.
***** If US audiences are staying away from her films, maybe it's because they're finally wising up to the fact she's not as great as the media would have us believe. She's been getting roles in films since day one. Cuddling up to Tom Cruise to advance her career didn't hurt. Also, the second half of your post makes no sense. "Underrated isn't always about what you win"? I never said it was. Being underrated is about what you DON'T win, and as I said, Nicole Kidman has won MANY awards. Hence, she cannot be "underrated". You also said "people have won who are overrated". Well, now you're talking about overrated, which is the opposite of underrated, so I don't see how that's relevant. Yes, OF COURSE people who are overrated win awards. That's usually how you know they are overrated. Nicole Kidman won an Oscar. Not the great actress everyone thinks she is. Even if her Oscar-winning performance was Oscar-worthy, one great performance doesn't a career make. Overrated.
Nicole Kidman is truly a wonderful actress. She completely embodied Virginia Woolf and made the viewers feel her discomfort. A difficult and daring role.
She deserved to win. Her best performance up to date and one of the greatest of the century. She just turned into Virginia Woolf and playing a bipolar and depressed character like she did is not easy. She was so natural and the train station scene is just out of this world.
Lil Jay salma was miscast,as natalie portman in jackie,they don't nothing alike like characters who played,that is why they didn't win,nicole was amazing as virginia woolf that is why she won
I watched The Hours again last night, and I think the Academy got it so right with this one. Nicole melted away and Virginia Woolf came out instead. It gave me goosebumps, and tears at different moments in the story. She has a huge emotional depth, and it shows in her performance as something both raw and true to the essence of Woolf.
Well said, Timothy Cole. Her acceptance speech was quite lovely, it reminded me that despite the tawdry aspects of Hollywood, these people are artists, and she is an artist who honours and respects her craft. She was bloody good in The Hours. She gave expression to some deep and important emotional truths about what it is to be human. Of course it was deserved. All the other actors deserved it, too, that was a fine collection of films. But the jury of her peers in the craft respected her performance the best, and that says it all.
A classy woman who knows how to treat people...who can laugh at herself and who takes her job seriously but not to the point of being self-important. I absolutely adore her. And she is killing it on BLL
Nicole Kidman has great acting in The Hours. She is the first Australian to win the Academy Award for Best Actress. First Australian to be nominated in this category more than once, and in consecutive years, the first Australian to win Best Actress, and the first win for a female Australian in a Biography.
100%. I saw her on stage in London one. She looked like a million bucks. Tall, slender, model-like, with glowing skin. Everyone in the audience GASPED as she walked onto the stage. Never seen a more beautiful human being in my entire life (and I'm a gay man, so I'm not interested in her sexually at all). She is breahtaking.
That was one of the toughest Oscar nominees to pick... the 5 of them were brilliant on their performances. But of course I was so happy that Nicole achieved it! Well deserve, Nicole!
Haha, that was the Adrien Brody effect, cause before Denzel announced best actress, Hallee Berry presented the Oscar to Brody, who kissed her very passionatley, which became a very famous moment later, so I guess Nicole wanted to get the same experience. And who could blame her, it's Denzeeeel. :P
Julianne Moore was amazing in Far From Heaven, as well as in The Hours. She's so talented and beautiful. To me, she was the best and the most touching character in the Hours. She should have won for these two films.
She talks about struggling with being shy in the past, which is called social anxiety. I don't think Mr. Cruise was very understanding, you could see how uncomfortable she was at times with him.
My comment, my right. But that’s not what she wants to do, nor is her “face” her largest talent. She’s a serious actor & massively talented. A lot of people struggle with social anxiety and it doesn’t matter what you look like.
Diane Lane is always overlooked. She should have won for Unfaithful. Far From Heaven was a beautiful film as well, and Julianne Moore gave my favorite of her performances, opposite Dennis Haysbert.
This year was one of the strongest year of acting, Julianne may have a great chance this year--about time! Maybe everyone who has seen the Hours has a favorite, all three leading ladies were brilliant. But I do think that the Academy made the right decision, what Nicole did in The Hours was magical to me.
laura Silveria Great comments about Virginia Woolf. I've read nearly all of her published work and many biographies. Considering the suffering she went through in her life it's remarkable that she lasted as long as she did. Though she had an ethereal appearance and wasn't a physically strong person Virginia Woolf was made of iron. You might be interested in the book "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell--Cyclothymia in the Life of Virginia Woolf" by Peter Dally, 1996. I believe the author is a psychiatrist so he may be listed as Dr. Peter Dally.
Nicole is one of the bravest and most interesting actresses in the world. She easily could have 10 nominations but the academy for some reason hate her. 1. To die for 2. Eyes wide shut 3. Dogville 4. Birth 5. Margot at the wedding 6. Stoker 7. The paperboy +the three she scored. A true legend.
SALMAS'S face is everything..... dammmm beautiful , Great year for the female performances in a leading role... Julianne, Salma, Nicole, Diane were all great and each one deserved an oscar!!!
+Charlie Firefly Julianne Moore finally got an oscar She was long over due and she made it and I was so happy with Kate Winslet as well when she won for Best Actress in The Reader*** They both were long overdue and good actresses
+Sami Brady Don't you ever have anything nice to say? You never think anyone who wins deserves to. You just like to bash the Oscars. This is getting to be fun, though.
Nicole was even more amazing in some of her previous movies (TO DIE FOR, EYES WIDE SHUT, THE OTHERS and MOULIN ROUGE!), but still I was so happy when she became an Oscar winner!
I remember watching the film when i was 14. I was amazed by Kidman and Moore's performances. I felt the affliction of the characters, I felt so much like them... I have to thank them! Kidman deserved this Oscar so so much!
I think Nicole performance in The Hours was the most Oscar worthy performance ever by an actress, and to prove it all of her competition that year were really great but she won over all of them, nobody could recognize her in the role as Nicole which is really great.
It goes to the conventional wisdom that these days, an actress has to ugly herself up or play crazy in order to win that Best Actress statuette. Nicole, Halle, Hillary, Charlize, etc.
She was really quite effective and the film was awesome in the theater. And it still plays well out on a dvd . And really all of the nominees were very good and belonged in the nominations.
I was so happy for her. She really deserved to win. Her performance was absolutely amazing. It was not a shallow imitation (like many actors do when they play historical figures), but true acting.
Emily Davenport It's critics who give out these awards in the first place. And like it or not, the most important critics are the general public. They are the working class Joes who work 40 hours per week, go to the movies for entertainment, and whose meagre wages, collectively, pay for the overblown salaries of Hollywood stars, so damn right people are entitled to have their say. And as somebody who watches thousands of hours of movies per year, from all sorts of different countries and decades, genres and styles, not just what came out five seconds ago from Hollywood, I can tell you, Nicole Kidman does NOT rate as one of the finest actresses I've seen. The problem I have with comments like yours, Emily, is every single day, people complain about the train company not running a train on time, lousy service at restaurants from underpaid wait staff, bad connections from the telephone company, incompetent teachers who have to deal with horrible brats five days per week...the WORKING PERSON is fair game, and nobody defends them. But when Nicole Kidman has a few critics (justifiably) slamming her for being a lousy, overpaid "actress", people jump to her defence...like she really needs it. Imagine how much better the world would be if folks like yourself defended their fellow "common people"--the train driver, the waiters and waitresses, the telephone operator, the school teacher, et al, with the same enthusiasm you reserve for defending poor little bitty Nicole Kidman. The world would be a much happier place. But this is the world we have: we go ga-ga over a no-talent like Nicole Kidman, and waste all our criticism on the "common people". I'm not saying you're guilty of above-mentioned sins, Emily--maybe you are, maybe you aren't, but the fact is 99 percent of people ARE like this. So I say if people must be critical, LET THEM be critical of fakes and phonies such as Nicole Kidman. I'd much rather live in a world where people take out their frustrations on overprivileged, self-serving dipshits like Nicole Kidman, instead of being rude to the person on the street. I see it everyday--the mindless worship of "celebrities" who ain't worth celebrating, and the heartless contempt folks have for their fellow "common people". And if all this sounds overly deep, well, you caught me in a serious mood. And regardless of what you may think, what I've said above is truer and deeper and coming from a more honest place than that absolutely fake bullshit that Kidman dribbles from her snake-venom pumped lips and all over her grossly overpriced gown starting from 2:38 of this video. So amen to THAT, true believers.
MisterObjectivity I understand what you mean about over worshipping celebrities, but for me the world would be a far nicer place without so much negativity and cynicism towards others in general. For me, there is no difference between the person on the street, the train driver, and Nicole Kidman - they're humans and so should be treated with kindness. Nicole Kidman, privileged or not, is not responsible for every struggle of the working man. And if someone wins something, it'd be nice if people were just pleased for them rather than the overwhelming wave of hateful comments we see on TH-cam. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's just a shame so many possess such cruel opinions.
Emily Davenport Wonderfully stated! We ALL know the drill when we sign into Youber Tubers...too often there seems to be more negativity then ever and also it appears to me that the negativity is said with much more venom...almost as if that individual is "railing against the world" and Nicole Kidman is "Today's Special" on the BBQ Menu! I just side step the ones who seen hell bent on letting everyone else know that THEIR OPINION is the only one that matters. Cheers and Stay Strong!!
MisterObjectivity Those people that you talk about also keep employed Adam Sandler and Michael Bay. Being the average Joe Moviegoer doesn't exactly give one knowledge about acting or film in general. I don't think Kidman deserved this Oscar to be honest (not over Julianne Moore) but I can tell you she DOES rate as one of the finest actresses out there. Her filmography has been meh and disappointing lately but, well, it happens to the best...
She later said the night the won, as she sat in her hotel with the golden statue, it was the loneliest she's ever felt. You can see that deep sadness, even in this speech. So glad she's doing better now
kacper xyx She didn’t at this point. She’d win supporting in Cold Mountain as something of a consolation prize for this loss. She’s about to win another one, this time a deserved Lead Actress win for Judy.
@@bijaysunuwar5078 Yes! The movie left me cold, but she was great in it. And let's not forget Lion, Paddington, Rabbit Hole and Cold Mountain - all good films. I also loved her performance in Destroyer and The Paperboy, although those movies didn't quite reach their full potential.
Nicole's performance in the hours was astonishing she absolutely deserved it!! just as a side note: Renée Zellweger's performance in Chicago was amazing too! well, every performance that year was incredible actually now that I see the other nominees i have forgotten lol whole lotta great female talent! blessings
If you like Kidman in The Hours, check out her other best performances: 1. Moulin Rouge! 2. To Die For 3. Big Little Lies 4. Dogville 5. The Others 6. The Paperboy 8. Eyes Wide Shut 9. Being the Ricardos 10. Destroyer Honorable mentions: Rabbit Hole, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, Birth, Margot at the Wedding, Cold Mountain, The Undoing
Loved her in hours.I am a typical Indian teenager I didn't even know her before 2021, then I saw the hours and I became her biggest fan. The hours is a masterpiece. And I like to die for, moulin rouge and lion.
She also was hysterical funny in comedy Just Go with It ;) i guess because of all this tension of hers, which was just brought to the point of absurdity in that movie. i was always amazed how similar Tom and Nicole are... he's also so f tense
Ok, who all is here after seeing Nicole in Being the Ricardos? As of this writing, she just won the Golden Globe for Lead Actress in a Drama, and I'll go out on a limb and say Nicole is on her way to Oscar #2! I know, Kristen Stewart has been the front-runner for a while now, but I think the momentum is shifting towards Ms Kidman! We'll see... 🥰
I love Nicole in the Hours, exquisite work. But I can't help thinking about Julianne's missing Oscar! She's such an amazing actress, she was incredible in The Hours as well and in Far from heaven. Give her one damn Oscar bloody academy!!
She should have won that year as Supporting as the Hours, and should have been nominated and won also for Magnolia in 1999. It's a shame that an actress like her doesn't have an Oscar already.
hermione00801 I agree with The Others stuff, her perfomance in that movie was a masterpiece of acting and it's a real shame that she didn't get a nomination. The pain, the fear and all the emotions of her characters were absolutely real, such an underrated perfomance just for being in an movie about haunting house. Anyway, I think this Oscar is 100% deserved. Kidman is by far one of the best actresses of her generation and her transformation, the way she became Woolf, the way she was able to understand and show all the emotional conflict of such a complicated woman was just brilliant. Despite my favourite perfomance of the movie (and one of my favourite perfomances EVER on the cinema) is Julianne's, Kidman was co-lead with Streep. Moore was the connection between that characters, but in my opinion, her performance was the stronger one. Flawless.
I've seen all the Best Actress performances of that year except Hayek's, and I would say Nicole Kidman truly deserved this Oscar win 100%. She completely disappeared into the role, and the train station scene alone is perfection.
Her subtle performance as Virgina Woolf is astounding and heartbreaking. I will never forget her performance, although there are three of them in the lead roles, Nicole really stand out and delivered a very spectacular performance. One thing to praise also is the make up artist who did a really great job in disguising Nicole and we can see no Nicole Kidman there. She deserves it.
This category was probably the closest race ever! Every single actress deserved to win but it was Nicole's time that year and she was a classic winner.
I feel like this is the year where all actresses should win, Renee's sassy, and evil performance in Chicago, Salma's emotional and amazing performance in Frida, Nicole's phenomenal, and wealthy performance in The Hours, Julianne's heartbreaking and emotional performance in Far From Heaven, and finally Diane's amazing and heartbreaking performance in Unfaithful
I need instructions about how Nicole Kidman's mother has raised her. Great Mother who had brought a great daughter to life. The beauty is another part of the issue . Oh Holy God.
+casseyboo89 I totally agree with you, my fri. 'Nicole' so so deserved it. And haters gonna hate, you know. And some people wrote negative comments under other people's comments, but at the end of the day, they couldn't change the fact of our 'Nicole' winning an OSCAR®. They have to suck that up. I just love 'Nicole' so much!

@@enricotolentino1175 I didn't realize how short of a screen time it was. Amazing performance.
Not only this scene, but the whole movie you can never say it's Nicole acting. She INCARNATED Virginia Woolf
Nicole Kidman has been one of the most versatile and courageous actresses in Hollywood. She acts in all genres and is not afraid of risky choices.
Это точно❤ она универсальна
She hasn’t made a good movie since that one

she made me cry,...wow. ..Love u Nicole...you are beautiful.
she's so touching
Dorypowa never touched me at all! All fake and plastic! And so very overrated!
@@booklover6198 shut up
@@iammiikael nope, you're not that lucky! I won't, just because you don't like my own opinion! 😂😂
@@booklover6198 no, Nicole is the most beautiful of all, now pass your number 😌
@@iammiikael 😂😂😂😂😂no, she's definitely NOT! End of discussion! Too ridiculous and pathetic! Bye bye!!!!
She talks about struggling with being shy in the past, which is called social anxiety. I don't think Mr. Cruise was very understanding, you could see how uncomfortable she was at times with him.
My comment, my right. But that’s not what she wants to do, nor is her “face” her largest talent. She’s a serious actor & massively talented. A lot of people struggle with social anxiety and it doesn’t matter what you look like.
@@harrypottermovie2390 Being shy and having social anxiety are not the same.
He is a jerk
Just saw the movie. Incredible film, incredible performance. Nicole Kidman blew me away.

Diane Lane is always overlooked. She should have won for Unfaithful. Far From Heaven was a beautiful film as well, and Julianne Moore gave my favorite of her performances, opposite Dennis Haysbert.
Salma did too a great job in Frida.
samuel moreno I agree with you!
But no to win an Oscar
yes but nicole as well
@@vnach299 Neither did Gwyneth but yet she won.
They All did a Magnificient Job.
This year was one of the strongest year of acting, Julianne may have a great chance this year--about time! Maybe everyone who has seen the Hours has a favorite, all three leading ladies were brilliant. But I do think that the Academy made the right decision, what Nicole did in The Hours was magical to me.
laura Silveria Great comments about Virginia Woolf. I've read nearly all of her published work and many biographies. Considering the suffering she went through in her life it's remarkable that she lasted as long as she did. Though she had an ethereal appearance and wasn't a physically strong person Virginia Woolf was made of iron. You might be interested in the book "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell--Cyclothymia in the Life of Virginia Woolf" by Peter Dally, 1996. I believe the author is a psychiatrist so he may be listed as Dr. Peter Dally.
Nicole's portrayal was phenomenal. If someone doesn't see the cast credits, they will never know Nicole played Virginia Woolf.
No, the Academy did NOT make the right decision.
Agreed! This list was top 3/4 all time in Oscar history!
The most amazing performance...I was speechless, and there should be a trio oscar for her, Meryl and Julianne.
Julianne should have won too, as best Supporting. Anyway, they three were awarded in the Berlin Film festival, with an award for each one of them,
Thank you Germany. Germany rocks.
Nicole is one of the bravest and most interesting actresses in the world. She easily could have 10 nominations but the academy for some reason hate her.
1. To die for
2. Eyes wide shut
3. Dogville
4. Birth
5. Margot at the wedding
6. Stoker
7. The paperboy
+the three she scored. A true legend.
IKR? Especially To die For, Dogville, Margot... Legend!
Cold Mountain too... And now The Beguiled.
I agree with you... and Meryl is nominated for every shit she makes!
Diane Lane was my personal winner but Nicole was fantastic too, so I'm not mad at all. Salma was great as well
that scene on the train....Diane Lane.... when she felt guilty and at the same time very exciting....that was Oscar performance for me.
@@ivanbrocko I KNOW, that was a tough one. The thing is that they ALL Delivered Stellar performances. It was a Tough Choice.
Kidman and Diane gave incredible performances!! But Kidman was superb!!! The scene at the train station did it for me!!!
Tough competition. Some of our finest actresses. Every single one deserved an award. And they will make many more beautiful performances.
SALMAS'S face is everything..... dammmm beautiful , Great year for the female performances in a leading role... Julianne, Salma, Nicole, Diane were all great and each one deserved an oscar!!!
Julianne Moore was amazing in that film too but Nicole definately deserved this!
+Charlie Firefly Julianne Moore finally got an oscar She was long over due and she made it and I was so happy with Kate Winslet as well when she won for Best Actress in The Reader*** They both were long overdue and good actresses
Julianne Moore deserved to win.
+Aimee Adesso So you think because they were "overdue" they deserved to win the Oscar?
No not really I don't really care at this point now the oscars are overrated
+Sami Brady
Don't you ever have anything nice to say? You never think anyone who wins deserves to. You just like to bash the Oscars. This is getting to be fun, though.
These actresses all did an exceptional job. I'm glad that Nicole won.
Sigourney Weaver should have gotten a nomination that year for "The Guys". She was amazing in that film. As for Nicole, she deserved the Oscar
Nicole was even more amazing in some of her previous movies (TO DIE FOR, EYES WIDE SHUT, THE OTHERS and MOULIN ROUGE!), but still I was so happy when she became an Oscar winner!
And later in Dogville, Big Little Lies, Lion, The Undoing...
The others 💜💜💜💜
I remember watching the film when i was 14. I was amazed by Kidman and Moore's performances. I felt the affliction of the characters, I felt so much like them... I have to thank them! Kidman deserved this Oscar so so much!
I think Nicole performance in The Hours was the most Oscar worthy performance ever by an actress, and to prove it all of her competition that year were really great but she won over all of them, nobody could recognize her in the role as Nicole which is really great.
It goes to the conventional wisdom that these days, an actress has to ugly herself up or play crazy in order to win that Best Actress statuette. Nicole, Halle, Hillary, Charlize, etc.
She was really quite effective and the film was awesome in the theater. And it still plays well out on a dvd . And really all of the nominees were very good and belonged in the nominations.
I'm sorry you think this.
Charlize Theron was brilliant in Monster!
mgeek1 that’s not true. Regardless of the appearance it’s the performance the actor or actress gives that receives praise.
"my whole life, I've wanted to make my mother proud. and now, i wanna make my daughter proud! " tears~~~~~
That was deep
Omg! Nicole you're so cute i love it! You deserved it and also for Moulin Rouge
Both of them Nicole Kidman and Julianne Moore should have been awarded Oscar for The Hours. As an exception for their exceptional, magic performance
The background music is so classic and phenomenal, such as masterpiece of music from motion picture. The Hours should won best original score...!!!
I was so happy for her. She really deserved to win. Her performance was absolutely amazing. It was not a shallow imitation (like many actors do when they play historical figures), but true acting.
Everyone's got to be a critic, haven't they? People can't just be pleased for others.
AMEN......I for one have never seen so many EXPERTS in one place!! Cheers
Emily Davenport It's critics who give out these awards in the first place. And like it or not, the most important critics are the general public. They are the working class Joes who work 40 hours per week, go to the movies for entertainment, and whose meagre wages, collectively, pay for the overblown salaries of Hollywood stars, so damn right people are entitled to have their say. And as somebody who watches thousands of hours of movies per year, from all sorts of different countries and decades, genres and styles, not just what came out five seconds ago from Hollywood, I can tell you, Nicole Kidman does NOT rate as one of the finest actresses I've seen.
The problem I have with comments like yours, Emily, is every single day, people complain about the train company not running a train on time, lousy service at restaurants from underpaid wait staff, bad connections from the telephone company, incompetent teachers who have to deal with horrible brats five days per week...the WORKING PERSON is fair game, and nobody defends them. But when Nicole Kidman has a few critics (justifiably) slamming her for being a lousy, overpaid "actress", people jump to her defence...like she really needs it.
Imagine how much better the world would be if folks like yourself defended their fellow "common people"--the train driver, the waiters and waitresses, the telephone operator, the school teacher, et al, with the same enthusiasm you reserve for defending poor little bitty Nicole Kidman.
The world would be a much happier place. But this is the world we have: we go ga-ga over a no-talent like Nicole Kidman, and waste all our criticism on the "common people". I'm not saying you're guilty of above-mentioned sins, Emily--maybe you are, maybe you aren't, but the fact is 99 percent of people ARE like this. So I say if people must be critical, LET THEM be critical of fakes and phonies such as Nicole Kidman. I'd much rather live in a world where people take out their frustrations on overprivileged, self-serving dipshits like Nicole Kidman, instead of being rude to the person on the street. I see it everyday--the mindless worship of "celebrities" who ain't worth celebrating, and the heartless contempt folks have for their fellow "common people". And if all this sounds overly deep, well, you caught me in a serious mood. And regardless of what you may think, what I've said above is truer and deeper and coming from a more honest place than that absolutely fake bullshit that Kidman dribbles from her snake-venom pumped lips and all over her grossly overpriced gown starting from 2:38 of this video.
So amen to THAT, true believers.
MisterObjectivity I understand what you mean about over worshipping celebrities, but for me the world would be a far nicer place without so much negativity and cynicism towards others in general. For me, there is no difference between the person on the street, the train driver, and Nicole Kidman - they're humans and so should be treated with kindness. Nicole Kidman, privileged or not, is not responsible for every struggle of the working man. And if someone wins something, it'd be nice if people were just pleased for them rather than the overwhelming wave of hateful comments we see on TH-cam. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's just a shame so many possess such cruel opinions.
Emily Davenport Wonderfully stated! We ALL know the drill when we sign into Youber Tubers...too often there seems to be more negativity then ever and also it appears to me that the negativity is said with much more venom...almost as if that individual is "railing against the world" and Nicole Kidman is "Today's Special" on the BBQ Menu! I just side step the ones who seen hell bent on letting everyone else know that THEIR OPINION is the only one that matters. Cheers and Stay Strong!!
MisterObjectivity Those people that you talk about also keep employed Adam Sandler and Michael Bay. Being the average Joe Moviegoer doesn't exactly give one knowledge about acting or film in general. I don't think Kidman deserved this Oscar to be honest (not over Julianne Moore) but I can tell you she DOES rate as one of the finest actresses out there. Her filmography has been meh and disappointing lately but, well, it happens to the best...
Her accent is gorgeous
So deserved. Her acting was outstanding
She's so beautiful and what a beautiful, sincere, and simple acceptance speech. So lovely and genuine.
She is so elegant
brilliant actress brilliant artist.
THIS WAS A TOUGH DECISION.
I've seen The Hours, Unfaithful, Frida and Far From Heaven. Amazing performances
But I think she deserved it. She nailed it. Loved her performance and her accepting speech.
You should see Chicago - lovely movie.
That year was tough.
So you havent seen chicago i guess
@@carlodelarosaManuelito i have
how shy and decent she is! down to earth. Nice voice
She later said the night the won, as she sat in her hotel with the golden statue, it was the loneliest she's ever felt. You can see that deep sadness, even in this speech. So glad she's doing better now
Why was she lonely that night ? I wonder..
@@thewizard5842 this was not too long after her and Tom Cruise got divorced
Renee looks cracked out on that close-up
tpabaygarstud She was clearly freaked out about the possibility of winning. I think she may just win next year for Judy.
@@neworleansguy10 but Renne has an Oscar already
kacper xyx She didn’t at this point. She’d win supporting in Cold Mountain as something of a consolation prize for this loss. She’s about to win another one, this time a deserved Lead Actress win for Judy.
She was nervous as hell because there was a real possibility she would win
@@neworleansguy10 And she won! she totally deserved it this year 💙
My vote goes to Diane Lane. Unfaithful was GOOD! Hours was good too and Nicole Kidman is incredible!
Yes!
She was outstanding in "The Others"
And in Big Little Lies, and To Die For, and Dogville, and Moulin Rouge!, and The Undoing, and Eyes Wide Shut. She always brings it!
@@blackforest825Agreed 100%. Dogville, The Others and Eyes Wide Shut are my 3 favourite movies of hers. Love NK
Also the killing of a sacred deer🦌
@@bijaysunuwar5078 Yes! The movie left me cold, but she was great in it. And let's not forget Lion, Paddington, Rabbit Hole and Cold Mountain - all good films. I also loved her performance in Destroyer and The Paperboy, although those movies didn't quite reach their full potential.
@@blackforest825 u look like true fan
Julianne will win the Oscar in 2015 for "Still Alice"! She's a fantastic actress.
Lol, ''Russell Crowe said ''Don't cry if you get up there'' and now i'm crying!''. Such an amazing actress and person :P
nawwwww she's one of the fews to have both of her parents come with her to the oscars
One of the shortest performances to win best leading actress.
Nicole's performance in the hours was astonishing she absolutely deserved it!! just as a side note: Renée Zellweger's performance in Chicago was amazing too! well, every performance that year was incredible actually now that I see the other nominees i have forgotten lol whole lotta great female talent! blessings
that was very touching. kudos nicole kidman
The scene in the train station says everything about Nicole and how fabulous acting can be.
She is soooo charming. :3

she was great in to die for
Loved her in hours.I am a typical Indian teenager I didn't even know her before 2021, then I saw the hours and I became her biggest fan. The hours is a masterpiece. And I like to die for, moulin rouge and lion.
Portrait of a lady
She also was hysterical funny in comedy Just Go with It ;) i guess because of all this tension of hers, which was just brought to the point of absurdity in that movie. i was always amazed how similar Tom and Nicole are... he's also so f tense
Nicole Kidman was also in Windrider and she was B actress in Austraila and she
did alot of movies in Austrailia too
Amazing :) she's one of my favorite ever
Ok, who all is here after seeing Nicole in Being the Ricardos? As of this writing, she just won the Golden Globe for Lead Actress in a Drama, and I'll go out on a limb and say Nicole is on her way to Oscar #2! I know, Kristen Stewart has been the front-runner for a while now, but I think the momentum is shifting towards Ms Kidman! We'll see... 🥰
The Hours is an absolutely superb masterclass in acting. Every performance was stellar
I loved the train station scene. She actually just wore the buried corpse of Virginia Woolf and did the scene. Love u Nicole.
She's so beautiful always best dressed everytime in oscars
They all looked at each other, that’s so sweet.
I love Nicole in the Hours, exquisite work. But I can't help thinking about Julianne's missing Oscar! She's such an amazing actress, she was incredible in The Hours as well and in Far from heaven. Give her one damn Oscar bloody academy!!
She should have won that year as Supporting as the Hours, and should have been nominated and won also for Magnolia in 1999. It's a shame that an actress like her doesn't have an Oscar already.
hermione00801 I agree with The Others stuff, her perfomance in that movie was a masterpiece of acting and it's a real shame that she didn't get a nomination. The pain, the fear and all the emotions of her characters were absolutely real, such an underrated perfomance just for being in an movie about haunting house.
Anyway, I think this Oscar is 100% deserved. Kidman is by far one of the best actresses of her generation and her transformation, the way she became Woolf, the way she was able to understand and show all the emotional conflict of such a complicated woman was just brilliant. Despite my favourite perfomance of the movie (and one of my favourite perfomances EVER on the cinema) is Julianne's, Kidman was co-lead with Streep. Moore was the connection between that characters, but in my opinion, her performance was the stronger one. Flawless.
hermione00801 The only Oscar Kidman should receive is an Honourary one, and this is after she has parted this Earth.
Aura Hyel so you clearly haven't watched The Hours...
Justin Smith The Hours was a master class on acting.
Diane Lane is so gorgeous.
yes and she was sexy in Unfaithful
i wish Diane could win. Unfaithful was one of her best. Really stretched her. Hard to compete with The Hours though.
Seeing her mom happy with her and her win made me cry a bit. Especially now, since the mom passed away😭
she is so lovely!
I've seen all the Best Actress performances of that year except Hayek's, and I would say Nicole Kidman truly deserved this Oscar win 100%. She completely disappeared into the role, and the train station scene alone is perfection.
They were all so great that year. Each actress deserved a piece of that little golden oscar man
Her subtle performance as Virgina Woolf is astounding and heartbreaking. I will never forget her performance, although there are three of them in the lead roles, Nicole really stand out and delivered a very spectacular performance. One thing to praise also is the make up artist who did a really great job in disguising Nicole and we can see no Nicole Kidman there. She deserves it.
Look how emotional are all of them huge actresses! They’re all stunning
This category was probably the closest race ever! Every single actress deserved to win but it was Nicole's time that year and she was a classic winner.
So sad that Salma didn't win to Frida but Nicole deserve it damn it's hard for this nominated
Nicole Kidman was really good in "The Hours" (which is one of my favorite movies), but I loved very much Diane Lane's performance in "Unfaithful".
*Nicole Kidman is double of my age but I'm still obsessed with her.*
I feel like this is the year where all actresses should win, Renee's sassy, and evil performance in Chicago, Salma's emotional and amazing performance in Frida, Nicole's phenomenal, and wealthy performance in The Hours, Julianne's heartbreaking and emotional performance in Far From Heaven, and finally Diane's amazing and heartbreaking performance in Unfaithful
Correct
Nicole was the best
Si quieres vamos sige
She is the BEST.....love her..
She played Virginia Woolf soooooooo well. Just unbelievable! "The Hours" is unbelievable
The competition was bloody tough.
The cast and direction of Hours was brilliant. All of them did bloody well.
Well deserved. Still watching The Hours in 2021 ☺🍿📺
I am unable to understand the movie and every character in the movie make me depressed
I LOVE THAT SCORE....
Brilliant performance by Nicole she nailed whatever she has played to date ❤👍🏻
She's so sweet in real life even though she plays so many intense characters.
I need instructions about how Nicole Kidman's mother has raised her.
Great Mother who had brought a great daughter to life.
The beauty is another part of the issue .
Oh Holy God.
Denzel is Mr Perfect! How could she resist?
Love her - she’s fast becoming my favourite actress 😍
Awwww Nicole totally deserved this. Such an underrated talent. Margot at the Wedding, Birth, The Paperboy, Hemingway and Gellhorn. She is amazing.
No, she didn't.
+Sami Brady You're a hating ass bitch. The only thing you should be nominated for is a home you don't have to share with your mother. Bye hater.
+casseyboo89 Aw, that's so nice of you. Are you this nice to everyone who has a different opinion than yours?
+casseyboo89 I totally agree with you, my fri. 'Nicole' so so deserved it. And haters gonna hate, you know. And some people wrote negative comments under other people's comments, but at the end of the day, they couldn't change the fact of our 'Nicole' winning an OSCAR®. They have to suck that up. I just love 'Nicole' so much!
+casseyboo89 Dont forget To Die For, a genius performance
How good if Nicole Kidman and Cate Blanchett co star in a same film. Both are such a powerhouse actress.
1. Nicole Kidman
2. Julianne Moore
3. Renee Zellweger
4. Salma Hayek
5. Diane Lane
No..salma 1st...
this is probably the most beautiful best actress line-up in the history of oscar! damn
beautiful lady.
