Nicole Kidman’s star shines brighter after this announcement

It was predicted that Nicole Kidman would be nominated for an Emmy for her role in Big Little Lies.

That prediction proved correct with the official announcement she is up for Best Actress in a TV movie or Limited Series.

She’s up against both Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon in Feud: Bette and Joan and her own co-star Reese Witherspoon, but critics are still saying Kidman is their pick for the win.
