GoldDerby posted a video with Anne Thompson and another critic on YouTube discussing the Best Actress race - they place Nicole as a long shot to be nominated😢😢😢 Thompson is as much as an 'expert' as any of us who follow awards season. She just happens to get paid for it. You literally know as much as she does. Her voice is just louder because she has a platform. Last season, Thompson kept claiming Denzel Washington would never be nominated for Roman J Israel Esq. When he got nominated for Golden Globe, she blew it off as the Globes nominating him for being a 'star'. She then said that would probably be the only nomination he got for the season. Then he got nominated by SAG a few days later. Thompson actually got annoyed (because it made her predictions look silly) and said SAG like to nominate more black performers in recent years, and that's probably why he got in. But Oscar still wouldn't go for him. In the end, Washington got the Oscar nomination, despite Thompson predicting against him the whole season, every step of the way. Thompson was clearly unhappy, because it ruined her 'wise predictor lady' image a little bit, but it just goes to show that just because someone is being paid by a website to give their opinions on awards races, doesn't mean they neccesarily know much more than anyone else. Thompson was not high on Kidman's odds since TIFF (thinks people won't want to watch the movie etc etc). We already knew that.But she did the same thing with Washington last year(whose movie was actually in a far wrose position than Destroyer, as it was about 50% on RT). And got egg on her face. Now Nicole might get snubbed in the end. But it won't be because Anne Thompson thinks so.

Kidman is not Denzel, he has two Oscars. I honestly think Kidman's chances were dead after the first reviews. Had the reception been stronger, she might have stood a chance.

Anyway....if they have a trailer ready, now is the time to drop it. They've waited long enough. The Lady Gaga hype has reached critical mass with ASIB now in it's second week of release. I sense people are bored of talking about Gaga....a strong Destroyer trailer right about now would be perfect timing.

My point wasn't that she's Denzel (I agree, she is not). My point was that Anne Thompson (and many others supposedly in the know) didn't even realise Denzel was Denzel, and didn't realise he could overcome a poorly recieved movie to get nominated. And these people are supposed to be 'experts'. I don't overvalue their insights. Don't underestimate how much juice and respect Kidman has in the industry at this moment in time. It's not a small thing. The AFI giving her a spotlight evening to promote Destroyer is not a small thing. To me, she's at least at the same level as 2007 Cate Blanchett in terms of industry respect, who got double nominations for two movies with much weaker combined RT scores than Destroyer and Boy Erased. I absolutely believe Kidman's career 'reneissance' will play a big unspoken factor in her odds this season. And if she does get double nominated, people who doubted even a single nod will say, ' But of course she was always going to get the nominations, because people like her again'. I don't even know how it'll pan out. She could get double nominations, or no nominations. If you want to take the pessimistic approach and believe her chances are zero to be nominated this year, I won't knock that. At least you won't be disappointed. But I believe her chances remain very solid for both movies. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong and life will go on. The only thing that has made me potentially question Kidman's odds are Annapurna's current situation. It's worrying and could affect their ability to run a good campaign. But I don't think the films reception is too weak or anything, purely as an acting vehicle.

Actually I just asked Nathaniel Rogers on Twitter about Nicole's chance for best actress race.
And he reply : yes. the performance is immediately impactful and showy and it will be fresh in the memory to voters.
Let's hope for the best and I still hopeful and optimistic for Kidman getting her fifth and sixth nominations this year.
And the best thing is we get to see a lot of Kidman at the end of the year. That's a blessing for Kidmanaic like us.

Is the premiere tonight then? ETA: Everyone, go right now to Deadline's Twitter account. They have a massive photo of Kidman (from Destroyer's promo at TIFF) as a banner.
