Screen Actors Guild Awards 2018: Full winners list
AUSTRALIAN actor Nicole Kidman has won a Screen Actors Guild Award, giving an emotional speech, while Margot Robbie and Geoffrey Rush were snubbed.
SHE has called it the role of her career and Nicole Kidman just added a Screen Actors Guild Award to her long list of accolades for Big Little Lies.
The Aussie stunner won Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor for her role as an abused housewife in the HBO drama, over co-stars Reece Witherspoon and Laura Dern.
She was the only Aussie who won a SAG, with Margot Robbie and Geoffrey Rush missing out.
“It means a lot to me ... I’m incredibly nervous because this is reality colliding with fantasy right now,” an unwell Kidman said.
“I have the flu and ... I’m playing a pretty out there character.”
Kidman, 50, was emotional as she accepted the industry-voted statue, saying, “to receive this at this stage of my life is extraordinary”.
First-time SAG winner Kidman said there would be more opportunities for women in Hollywood.
“It’s only the beginning and I’m so proud of being part of a community that is instigating this change,” Kidman said.
Meantime, the industry-voted SAGs gave the strongest indication to date on who will be nominated for — and possibly, win — at the Oscars.
It was the third major awards ceremony to be held in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein sex abuse scandal that has ripped through Hollywood. James Franco, who was nominated for his role in The Disaster Artist, attended the SAGs despite sexual miscounduct allegations (he lost to Gary Oldman).
