Nicole came across as very grounded, humble, and grateful. Like a fine wine, she gets better with age. This was a very wonderful, impassioned speech. It's disgusting to know that women over forty were considered "washed up" in the industry, and it is beautiful to see this changing! I applaud her appeal to those in positions of decisive power for the money to back these projects. Let's see history change for the better in Hollywood!!
I feel like SAG used to be very apathetic to her during her peak (the early 2000's). Snubbed in the Moulin Rouge year but didn't fail to nominate Zellweger for the performance with lesser chance to win the Oscar, then the next year actually awarded Zellweger, and did it again in the following... Normally it's never hard for the frontrunning actress of the season to win SAG but it was for Nicole
Lovely! Well deserved! And I loooove it that Nic hasn't lost her Australian accent (like so many other Aussie actors that go to America, and end up speaking with a yankee twang after being there for only a few months!!) Thank you for being true to Australia, Nic - but most of all thank you for being such a class act, and for being such a genuine and humble person.
Sohail Jafar - True! But she got her accent in Oz. It's just not her to do a Mel Gibson (American BORN, but Australian raised - complete with a natural Oz accent...then go to America and start twangin' away within no time!! It really peeves me off!! Losing your own accent. No other nationality does it, do they??! Scottish, Irish, French, you name it - they all maintain (of course!) their own accents. Not the Aussies) Nicole is simply what people call 'authentic'. She really is 'herself'. That's what I love about her.
Honestly, as a 20 year old woman, I think stories about middle-aged women are more interesting than those in their 20s. It's not like stories about women in their 20s are uninteresting, just less so, because I think in your 20s you just start to really learn about life. If you look back now to the old Hollywood more than 20 years ago, how weird it was that basically for women who turned 30s, their chance for peak was over, and they wouldn't have much job until they reached an old age when they could play old matriarchs. As much as I love Hollywood Classical era, the patriarchal view of women at the time is undeniable, and the female stars were too young (in comparison to the men) and their fully made up faces looked like unrealistic goddesses or angels, in order to keep up with the standard at the time which was vastly dominated by men.
lol Not sure I'd consider it a 'fantastic blessing' to be worked till 1am!! I think I know what she means though - she is wanted enough and is considered so good an actress as to be worked that much! :) Lovely speech! :) :)
You're only "washed up at 40" if you trade solely on your looks. Meryl Streep sure as hell wasn't washed up at 40, and Morgan Freeman didn't have his big break until he was 50-years-old.
She said that it was "wonderful today that our careers can go beyond 40 years old." Referring to women as a whole. I pointed out that it's about people who trade on their looks, not all female actresses. I know this is hard for you because it doesn't support your narrative of the whole world discriminating against women as one category, but if you keep trying you'll get it.
Male examples are perfectly fine because the gender distinctions are all in your head. Did you know that bodybuilders, for example, are also on the downswing of their career and usually retire in early 40's? Because they can't keep up the physical perfection either. Secondly, don't think I didn't notice you trying to totally ignore obvious examples of women who had talent beyond their looks and who stayed working, like Meryl Streep.
They are best friends and produced PLL together, they shopped studio's and fought to get it made. It's so sad when Woman don't think we can support eachother and have joy over each other's successes.
Kymberly Ward Reese is the same woman who abused an officer for arresting them for DUI, just because he didn’t know who she was. Humility isn’t her strongest suit. Plus, Kidman was the reason the show got off anyway.
I think that Nicole, besides being a queen of acting and elegance, is one of the great ones in terms of speeches .. wOw every time WOW

Hollins23 she managed to get away from Tom Cruise unscathed
Can't believe this is Nicole's first SAG. She has never won one on the film side.

@@saraloha4627 I hope she wins her second for BEING THE RICARDOS.

DeeMor501 love nic.. all the way ..

She sould won sag 2003 for best actress in the hours...!!!
OMG it's her 1st SAG 😳😳😳
She is divine 👑
Classy.
Nicole Kidman is an epic actress I love as Joanna in Stepford she is the queen of fashion and her and Keith are an awesome couple ☮️💜
Nicole queen
You have to admit she nailed that speech
NICOLE 💪💚
This is much better than her Oscar speech
she’s our girl.. ❤❤❤
Great speech. Nicole Rocks !😊
Great woman
Me sorprende lo hermosa que es 😍
The one and only :)
didn't show her standing ovation for her speech
I couldn't even recognize her in the thumbnail
lol Not sure I'd consider it a 'fantastic blessing' to be worked till 1am!! I think I know what she means though - she is wanted enough and is considered so good an actress as to be worked that much! :) Lovely speech! :) :)
Reese and Molly are in her corner.....or at least at her table.
Fantastica! !
Helen Mirren too... Great speech ❤
Cool! Now everybody has the FLU.
Lol exactly what I was thinking!! 😂😪😷
That was tough year. FUED was kinda over looked cause BLL was so good and huge.. so that was a bit disappointing for me .. FUED was so so good!!
Which role is she referring to?... The one she describes as hard to shake off?
Wondering the same thing, might be Destroyer. That is one of her most difficult roles and was released in December.
You're only "washed up at 40" if you trade solely on your looks. Meryl Streep sure as hell wasn't washed up at 40, and Morgan Freeman didn't have his big break until he was 50-years-old.
How is Morgan Freeman a bad example *given my first sentence?* Let's see how much processing power is in that brain of yours.

If I expect "physical perfection" from actresses then why did I list Meryl Streep you fucking deranged SJW idiot?
Poor Reese. Throughout the award season, she didn’t get any recognition for the best performance of her career. You could tell she’s sore at Kidman.
Oh, take your pity party and enjoy a deep dive off a shallow dock! Reese hasn't even reached the mid-point in her acting career yet!
Silverstone L I can’t see her getting any better than what she brought in BLL.
They are best friends and produced PLL together, they shopped studio's and fought to get it made.
It's so sad when Woman don't think we can support eachother and have joy over each other's successes.

reese was great, but kidman was better. it's simple. kidman is more senior than her anyway, so it's kinda expected
Gees Nicole you didn't say a single thing about how racist or sexist Donald Trump is, don't you know award ceremony rules
