Welcome to the world of Instagram, Nicole Kidman! The incredibly talented 50-year-old actress officially joined the photo-sharing platform on January 8, just after her incredible victory at the Golden Globes for Best Actress in a Movie or Limited Series on January 7. Nicole wasted no time in making her presence known with her first post—a delightful photo of herself proudly holding her award at The Beverly Hilton hotel. In the caption, she expressed her joy and gratitude: “About last night… shut the place down!!! I am so proud of my Big Little Lies family and to have stood with my sisters on such a special night. #TimesUp.”
At the 2018 Golden Globes, the fashion statement of the night was unmistakable: stars dressed in black to stand in solidarity against sexual harassment and assault. Many celebrities wore pins bearing the words “Time’s Up,” raising awareness for this crucial movement aimed at preventing sexual harassment. This initiative was established on January 1 by 300 powerful women in the entertainment industry, including actresses, executives, agents, producers, writers, and directors. Notable founders include Eva Longoria, Emma Stone, Reese Witherspoon—Nicole’s best friend!—Kerry Washington, and Shonda Rhimes. It’s inspiring to see such a united front for change.

Since Nicole's Instagram debut, her fans—she quickly amassed over 331,000 followers!—have been flooding her first post with congratulatory comments. “You totally deserved it, @NicoleKidman! Congrats!” one fan wrote, while another added, “Fantastic first Insta photo! What an amazing night for so many!” Nicole's win was for her powerful portrayal of Celeste Wright in Big Little Lies, a series that aired on HBO from February 19 to April 2, 2017. The show also featured a stellar cast including Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern, Alexander Skarsgård, Zoë Kravitz, and Shailene Woodley. Fans are already buzzing about the upcoming second season of Big Little Lies, set to begin production this spring. We can't wait to see what's in store!
One of the most compelling aspects of Big Little Lies was Nicole's portrayal of domestic abuse. Her character, Celeste, endured physical abuse at the hands of her husband, Perry, played by Alexander Skarsgård. In a candid interview, Nicole shared her emotional journey through filming these intense scenes. “I felt extremely exposed and vulnerable, and deeply humiliated at times,” she revealed. “After one particular scene, I remember lying on the bathroom floor between takes, just broken and crying. I couldn't get up. At one point, the director, Jean-Marc Vallée, placed a towel over me because I was lying there in half-torn underwear, feeling completely exposed and fragile.”
These moments highlight Nicole's dedication to her craft and her commitment to bringing awareness to such important issues. Her performance not only captivated audiences but also sparked important conversations about domestic violence and the need for change.
