I disagree. It was a major supporting role for Kidman. She is in the movie the whole way through, even when she is not the focus of the scenes, she is in scenes doing something. Not really sure why some people think the role was too small. These are what actual supporting roles look like….not category frauded leads that pretend to be…[Read more]

As some others have said, it’s between Joy and Kidman. Leaning towards Joy for now, but I think it will probably be pretty close and could go either way. Kidman is Globes royalty and The Undoing is a monster hit. Those factors help her a lot.

There is no way on earth Coel can be favored over Kidman at the Globes of all places (which love her to death) in such a mega-hit as The Undoing. Coel has been hurt badly by Shira Haas, and especially Anya Taylor-Joy. There are only so many rising young starlets that the Globes can concentrate on at one time, and Taylor-Joy has taken that spot…[Read more]

Fair enough. Agree to disagree then. I thought Kidman gave one of her best performances in this, and for me, as did Grant. Never found him this complex before (and again, they both do something special in the finale). I feel like the reason this show has been such a big hit is primarily because of their performances.

But agreed that Noma is a…[Read more]

That’ll be an emphatically strong no for me. Noma Dumazweni was good in a very straightforward role for 3 episodes that a lot of very good actors could have done just as well. The tough as nails, take no-nonsense lawyer. She didn’t need to act any extra layers to the role. It’s a generic part that she infused with charisma. The difficulty level…[Read more]

With The Undoing done, I’m right now predicting Nicole Kidman to win for Best Actress In A Limited series and Hugh Grant to win for Best Actor In A Limited series.

I’d put decent money on Kidman winning SAG for limited series actress after this. Her courtroom testimony scene in the finale is the kind of thing actors drool over. Not to mention her performance throughout the rest of the series. And pretty much everyone in the industry seems to be watching and enjoying this. I feel like Kidman is probably the…[Read more]

And Nicole Kidman is responding to him. She knows getting the seal of approval from Travis Scott helps puts her show in a different category of broad based appeal (younger fans, hip-hop fans etc).

I feel this is probably a more zeitgeisty show in terms of penetrating popular…[Read more]

Even black Hollywood is hooked on this show. Issa Rae posting about how much she is enjoying The Undoing:

I think people are really underestimating how big this could be at industry awards. Other shows may be more acclaimed, but I could really see this show potentially sweeping at…[Read more]

Denzel won an Oscar in the 2000’s for Training Day, and was nominated for 3 more in the last eight years (Flight, Fences, Roman J Israel). He should have won another Oscar for Fences. I feel like this should be common knowledge on an awards site. The 21st Century has been pretty productive for him, and he’s giving some of his most acclaimed…[Read more]

In a profile of the Top 20 rising stars in Hollywood for The Hollywood Reporter, one of the chosen stars, Normal People’s Daisy Edgar Jones singles out Nicole Kidman (whom she is currently watching in The Undoing) when asked whom she is most dying to work with:

The Person I’m dying to work with “I’m currently watching The Undoing with Nicole…[Read more]

Agreed. She is killing it on this show.

This was probably my favorite episode. Mainly because it focused more on character development than the suspense leading up to the eventual cliffhanger (which I enjoy, but this felt like a welcome change of pace). Kidman was fantastic as usual, but this episode gave far more for Sutherland and Grant to do, and both really delivered. The heart to…[Read more]

Taylor-Joy won’t have that advantage against Kidman at SAG. People are watching and enjoying The Undoing in significant numbers. Kidman is also obviously much more respected among SAG voters than Taylor-Joy.

LOL!

Live ratings for The Undoing are massive. They aren’t collapsing. They have increased each episode by around 18%. It’s a huge hit everywhere (US and overseas), by any measurable standard.

You need to be careful about getting false or inaccurate information and disseminating it as if it were fact (the low-ish live numbers you got were for…[Read more]

The Undoing seems to be a pretty big hit everywhere. Got a season high 1.7 million viewers for episode 3, matching the season high of Perry Mason and exceeding the season finale of Lovecraft Country.

It’s also breaking viewership records outside of the US. It’s the biggest series launch of the year for Sky Atlantic in the UK. It’s the Best first…[Read more]

TVLine names Kidman perfomer of the week for episode 2 of The Undoing:

The fact that this is being said when Kidman has only had two out of six episodes of her show screened to the public, actually shows how much of a threat she is already being seen as. She really did something in episode 2. She is carrying this show solo right now, and still has 4 more episodes to impact on viewers.

With Big Little Lies season…[Read more]

Yeah, Chloe Fineman from Saturday Night Live did an Instagram Live where she basically called The Undoing Kidman’s best ever performance and specifically said her work in episode 2 should be taught in acting classes for scene study because it was so perfect a performance. I don’t remember Kidman’s performance getting this kind of praise and hype…[Read more]

Samuel L Jackson is massively overdue, for his work with Quentin Tarantino alone. I find it a little bit ridiculous that Chrtistoph Waltz has two Oscars for Tarantino films, while Jackson, Tarantino’s definitive acting collaborator has none.

Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, The Hateful Eight, Django Unchained….Jackson would be a worthy supporting…[Read more]
