Kidman at the Spirits. Three Moments.
Sunday, February 27, 2011 at 1:40PM UPDATED POST. My friend Michael snapped this photo yesterday of Nicole Kidman & Naomi Watts holding hands outside the Spirit Awards tent yesterday. Fun!
just saw Nicole Kidman & Naomi Watts share a warm hug & walk off hand in hand like schoolgirls. Awesome.
Awesome indeed. I suddenly realized an hour ago that there will be no 'Nicole Kidman caught lipsynching to Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream"' moment tonight at the Oscars and this truly saddens me. Nicole Kidman reaction shots for the win. Hope we get some.
Nicole Presents
It's not that Jeremy Renner is short (5'10", totes normal). It's that Nicole Kidman is tall (5'11" and always in heels). Since I didn't see the show I can reinterpret this moment as Nicole Kidman and Jeremy Renner presenting James Franco with his contract to star in Oz: The Great and Powerful (2013). Look he's a floating head above them "WHO DARE DISTURBS THE GREAT WIZARD".
If you've ever read the vague plot descriptions of this movie, which has a hip revisionist slant like all new takes on old tales do these days, you'll know that the producers of Broadway's Wicked have been very stupid to take so long getting that musical on the big screen. Their thunder will be more than stolen with so many Oz films in the works. But damn Wicked coulda made a great big screen movie.
Nicole Multitasking
Paparazzi shots show Kidman arriving at the festivities, looking awesome, shielding herself from the sun and wind, kissing someone (who?), walking with Keith and talking on the cel phone. I'm surprised she didn't juggle while talking to the press. Who was she talking to? Who is she kissing?
okay...
I lied. FOUR KIDMAN MOMENTS. Thanks to Hayden for alerting me to the following.
MOULIN ROUGE! REUNION
Seeing these two together, even for a brief "celebrity arrivals" snapshot is bliss. Moulin Rouge! hits its 10th year anniversary this June. Stay tuned. We will totally celebrate.

He looks like Arliss Howard
PS Was she freezing?
Peggy -- apparently everyone was freezing. in the photos lots of coats. and people apparently talked about it on the show too.
And boy do I find it funny that you decided to follow your post about the ultimate silver screen legend with one of the only few I could see succeeding her in that.
Nicole has an ease, a charm, an aura if you will, around her that makes it so difficult to understand why she is not considered THE GREATEST FEMALE MOVIE STAR of today. And amazingly she throws it all aways for a quiet, peaceful life in Texas and Australia.
Which just makes me want to love her more.
I just hope she gets to 60 and still be as awesome as ever like Meryl. Preferably with more Oscars.
Poor thing!
PS Kidman at the Spirits sounds very Fellini. Love it!
She and Keith actually live in Nashville! :)
I'm a fellow Tennesseean, so I'm really quite happy/proud Nicole settled here!
I looked at that photo and thought James Franco was making a movie with little Nicole Kidman and Jeremy Renner dolls. I'm completely serious.
@Aaron: Yes, Tennessee, not Texas. LOL. I got confused.
Talking to: Keith? Sunday maybe? Kissing: It *does* look like Arliss Howard. (Was Debra Winger there?)
I'm so-o-o glad Kidman looks like her (best) self again: fabulous red hair, less plasticine than before, more natural lips, etc. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!
Yes, it was FREEZING there on the beach yesterday... the coldest it has ever been since I started attending the show in 1999. I ended up spending nearly all the time at the show, as I always do, hanging out in the backstage area outside the tent because that's where the real fun is--after all, I would've missed the big Naomi + Nicole moment had I not, and their sisterly bonding moment was enough warmth to make any temperature complaints moot, heh.
I didn't get a pic of it, but Nicole and Ewan entered the gate to the tent literally one after the other, and inside I had a shameless Moulin Rouge! fanboy squee moment, heh.
Ahh Nat, sweet relief. After tonight's Oscars I needed this!
PS There's more photos floating online of Nicole Naomi and Keith sharing something on their iPhones! :-)
