All Nicole Kidman Movies and Series Ranked
Nicole Kidman is an actor who keeps moviegoers, awards prognosticators, and our own Tomatometer guessing. Just when you think she’s heading in one clear direction – upon winning her Oscar in 2003 for The Hours (“by a nose”) she appeared in a string of mainstream studio flicks like The Interpreter and Bewitched – she takes a sharp turn: when she put down the Bewitched broomstick, she moved on to indie curiosities like Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus and Margot at the Wedding. She’s been mixing those kinds of daring indie choices with more mainstream fare ever since she emerged on the world stage with a scene-stealing role in Phillip Noyce’s acclaimed boat-bound thriller, Dead Calm. Kidman in the ’90s meant supporting roles in blockbusters like Batman Forever and Days of Thunder, and leading, attention-grabbing turns in more off kilter fare like Gus Van Sant’s To Die For and, notoriously, Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut. In the 2000s, she mastered new genres – Oscar nominated for musical, Moulin Rouge!, scream-queen–certified for The Others — and continued racking up the accolades, ending the decade with another Oscar nom for Rabbit Hole. She was on a hot streak starting 2015, with five Certified Fresh films, leading up to significant awards talk for Destroyer and even Bombshell. Kidman helped lead the charge of A-listers on television with Big Little Lies, Top of the Lake, The Undoing, and Nine Perfect Strangers. Her latest film was Robert Eggers’ Viking revenge epic The Northman. Now, we’re ranking Kidman’s movies and series, starting with her Certified Fresh work, including her latest film Babygirl, which earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama.
