^ it’s certainly attracting a lot of attention especially given her current form and stature. I just hope, and I’m confident, she’ll deliver cos all of those films you listed showcased some of her best work. “Margot” is one of my favorites from her. "Margot at the wedding" is also in my top 10. I prefer her work in arty/indie films than in oscarbait ones.

I think Blanchett'll ensure she won't win a thing.

I think Blanchett'll ensure she won't win a thing. I'd like to be wrong, but unfortunately I'm leaning in that direction as well. Blanchett has never won the Cannes Best Actress prize herself (in a stunning upset, they gave Best Actress to her Carol co-star Rooney Mara over her in 2015). Nicole and Blanchett get along fine, but aren't close or anything. Blanchett has had a nice run for a few years being the most acclaimed/revered actress of her generation, but Nicole's 2017 is reframing the conversation again. Would Blanchett really want to give Nicole the Cannes Best Actress Award, and possibly put her on the track to a second lead Oscar? Got my doubts about that. If Nicole's in comp, and there are no other major alternatives for the Blanchett jury to pick, I expect it'll be one of those years where an obscure Iranian actress you'll never hear from again wins Best Actress.

She was rewarded a special award last year with 4 projects in the festival. Not really sure if they would want to award her anything this year if this film gets in. I personally would love to see her in some other European festival. Unless we talking about something really really good "I hope so"

Telluride if the film is that good, Cannes I'd rather Kidman take a break from the festival. Plus as paperboy said they won't reward her two years in a row, they'll make sure it goes to some obscure performance.

I want the film to premiere at the Venice Film Festival. Hopefully she will be awarded the Volpi Cup. But I think it will go to TIFF.
I just hope the film is good enough for Kidman to be in next year's Oscar conversation.

I really doesn't matter she was rewarded last year with 70 anniversary award. With each year there is new jury and new members. Look at history of Cannes Festival. Both Helen Mirren and Barbara Hershey were awarded year after year. Personally I would love to see Destroyer competing at Cannes.

Judging by what Kidman posted on her Instagram, I guess the filming just wraped.

Omg that OTHER wig. I am intrigued...

Going by the plot synopsis, I think the other wig indicates that Nicole will be playing different ages in the film. The plot states that her character infiltrates the cult, and years later she has to deal with the cult leader coming back. Or something along those lines.
She must have led a rough life in those years to go from the fresh faced, long haired version pictured with Sebastian Stan, to the older version that we've seen in most of the set pictures,
