This sort of thing makes me so mad. Nicole Kidman doesn’t get the respect or credit she deserves. People seem to forget the many great films she’s been in, such as, Cold Mountain, The Hour, The Others, Eyes Wide Shut and my all time favourite Moulin Rouge!

It’s disgraceful the way people talk about her.

This week, Jim Carrey’s yes man and will smith’s seven pounds barely made a squeak over what australia did. Both duidnt have twolights to fight unlike Australia) but no one is after the MALE stars’ heads.

Way to go!

Some may attack her out of jealosy/envy or sexism. And I’m sure she’s a wonderful humanitarian. But I was critiquing her from a purely professional stand point as someone who has worked in that industry for over 20 years. The most real I saw from her was the Aussie indie “Flirting” when she was 15. And at 15, she really only had so much depth. She is not even close to being a Hepburn (take your pick). Maybe in the future, but not right now.

Well, she makes more money than I do and she’s in the limelight of being famous. Who cares whether or not she can act or is considered a star. She made it in show biz.

Good for her! As for Tom Cruise making her famous….Tom is a weiner whacker!

Nicole’s story is almost classic.

A beautiful actress turns 40, then everyone starts to attack her. The sexist actions are hidden in assumptions and accusations… making sure that the successes she contributes in are credited to her co-stars while she carries the burden of the so-called flops.

The good thing with Nicole is she’s still there. She may be hanging by a thread but she remains a star, box-office hit or not.

The bad thing? It’s saddening to say this, but it is actually the women who put her down.. Maybe this is why sexism in Hollywood will never be over. Women seem to love it when the screen godesses age enough for them to fall.

One day this too will happen to Angelina Jolie and Reese, just as it did with Julia. And what’s funny is that it is women who always scream surprised– the very same woman who saw to it that one successful member of their kind fell to the ground.

Long live Sexism.

I think ms kidman is a great actress. I think the problem lies with her personality-she appears snobbish. She doesn’t connect with people like alot of the other actors. I enjoyed seeing her on The View…she let a piece of herself out to the people… I think if she would do this more often her box office appeal would increase dramatically. I will say this again… she is a great actress. She is one of the best in hollywood. Get out their nicole and do more interviews and let the people get to know you.

Nicole Kidman seems better suited for live theatre. Her rise to fame is strictly because of Tom Cruise, her penchant for glamour gowns, and her physical height! Nonetheless, I think she is completely dedicated to acting and is sincere about her profession. That said, I do not think she is a good actor, always playing the same emotions with each character, indistinguishable from the next. That said too, I do think she has taken many chances that high-profile actors would not take at all. She does have guts. I think her role as U.N. ambassador will be her best. She does seem genuinely concerned about the plight of women and children around the world, and as much as I love movies, helping those in dire need is more important. Go Nicole!

Ms. Kidman might be a star, but she’s not much of an actress. She always feels fake in any role I’ve ever seen her in. When the greats take on a role, they become that character and you forget that you’re actually looking at Hoffman, Deniro, McKellen, whomever. Nicolson was almost more Hoffa than the real Hoffa (no disrespect to the Hoffas). They take their roles on so deep that the character sinks all the way down into their very bones. Ms. Kidman is very pretty and very poised, but her characters are only skin-deep. They sink into her as much as any of the jewels or clothes she wears. Needless to say, I bust a gut in Moulin Rouge when she dreams of being a real actress. What delicious irony!

She is a excellent actriss. For me, the Oscar winner Nicole Kidman is a true Hollywood star
