NATHANIEL R in Naomi Watts, Nicole Kidman, Oz the Great and Powerful, Spirit Awards, Twitter, precursor awards

UPDATED POST. My friend Michael snapped this photo yesterday of Nicole Kidman & Naomi Watts holding hands outside the Spirit Awards tent yesterday. Fun! 


He tweeted:

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.

THREE more after the jump!

 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.

♪ ♫ And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world ♪ ♫

These moments have been brought to you by Nathaniel's constant Kidmania.

Bye!
