I got no problem giving an award to Nicole Kidman. I haven't seen Moulon Rouge but i've been impressed with her acting in some movies i have seen her..
You haven't seen Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge...(I've always rated her as an actress) but she shows consumate comic timing in this, amongst other things. If she gets an Oscar for this...she deserves it.
BTW...I hope LOTR wins best picture. But M.R. is a close second in my mind.
