This movie has one of the best twists of all time. My jaw dropped when it was revealed in the end.

I've been away for a few days, i saw the other Aussie Queen in concert!
Now what have i missed,
''Rabbit Hole'' at #9, this is such a heartbreaking performance from Nicole. I am glad to see it in our top 10, it literally just made mine at #10. Kidman always gives her all, here she had a lot of sadness and in many ways for me, it was a rather tender performance at times.
''The Paperboy'' is just incredible, the film itself i think is very good. Even Zac Efron shined. The risk taking more than payed off, i couldn't see another actress doing what Kidman did. This will be one of those performances that will only grow with time and already has! Many more critics will single this one out or rank it highly. Kidman stole the entire film. 2012 was a great year for her and us. I am ashamed to admit i placed it at #15, but to be honest, top 20 is top 20. There are just so many superb performances from Nicole and more to come!
''The Others'' is my #2, i debated with myself whether to place it or ''Destroyer'' at #2, but then i remembered ''The Others'' along with MR, was when i became a fully fledged super fan! It's an absolute masterpiece. One i feel that speaks for itself, the quality, Nicole's performance, that twist! We need this re-released on 4K Blu Ray, i am so surprised it hasn't been yet!

07. Grace Stewart, The Others (2001)
In direct contrast to the previous performance, Kidman's Grace Stewart lands on number 7, again making 100% of all our lists. Nicole attacks the role with a relentless ferocious zeal that is frightening bringing to life Grace the tragic, cold, suffocatingly frustrated religious matriarch. Its a magnificent performance on a genius level giving Nicole her permanent place in horror movie characters hall of fame! Its a damn shame that Nicole hasn't done a horror movie since the others, especially now with horror films seeing a big resurgance in the entire spectrum. The Others should have been the nomination in 2001 for me, not Moulin Rouge. The tension she brought to that movie was just incredible! You felt every moment of fear, every pang of loneliness and frustration. And then the "twist" and her emotional crescendo were just flawless. It's a quintessential Nicole Kidman role- the statuesque glamour, the fraught whispering, the piercing eyes which tell more than the dialogue...

06. Celeste Wright, Big Little Lies (2017)A surprise debut for Kidman's performance as Celeste Wright catapulting into a very strong 6th position featuring in 96% of our lists, the performance helped remind the casual audience especially of the female demo that Nicole Kidman is a magnificent actress, something we knew but fell on deaf ears when it came to the masses. SO along comes a very juicy, soapy part with Kidman giving the role a complex and sophisticated performance not usually seen on television. Moreover, the role helped shed light on the very taboo subject of domestic abuse and spousal rape. People were caught off guard with what Kidman delivered with Celeste and the TV biz is better for it. Attachments:

I know that means the majority voted for them lol. And of course I appreciate all of your work, Mr Dedlock! I'm just surprised, that's all. Her The Hours performance is typically not rated as one of her best on a lot of film websites/forums.

"The Hours" is far and away (no pun intended) her best performance for me. It was one of the real juggernaut Oscar winning performances of the noughties (along with Monster and La Vie en Rose) which were all time great stuff!

The top 5 is looking good. Bit suprised that Moulin Rouge! is going to land in there, but it is arguably her most iconic performance and a landmark film in regards to her stardom. Also a bit suprised that Margot at the Wedding was so low; that's top 5 Kidman, surely!

I'm thrilled ''BLL'' got such a prominent spot. It's acclaimed and will be a big part of Kidman's legacy.
Now the top 5 i can't wait to see ''Birth'' crowned #1! I hope it is i mean haha.
