Blind Item Revealed — Nicole Kidman
People are calling this Emmy race “one of the closest ever”, but my Emmy source (that spilled this delicious blind item) has sent me a cheeky little email stating otherwise.
‘It’s not as close as anybody thinks it will be,’ he says. ‘[name omitted] is cert to win. [gender omitted] hasn’t won before, so [they’ll] get it.’
So, tell me, Gossipers:
Who is our winner?
What is our race?

The Story: Nicole Kidman vs Jessica Lange Closest Emmy Race In Years
Popular Guesses: Nicole Kidman / Jessica Lange
Nicole Kidman vs Jessica Lange was called the closest Emmy race of the year by GoldDerby and The Gossip Life’s very own, Scott, but my Emmy source contacted me almost two months ago to tell me the blind item above.
Kidman ended up lifting the Emmy last night, beating Lange, Susan Sarandon, Carrie Coon and co-star Reese Witherspoon, even though she initially trailed Lange in the predictions for the award.
It’s Kidman’s first ever Emmy Award after 2 previous nominations. Lange is an Emmy favourite and has won 3 in the last 10 years.
Fully deserved. Bloody fantastic performance. Watched the whole series on Sky in one weekend!!

One of the few times I’ve found her bearable. That says a lot.

It went how it was supposed to. I know the Emmys love Jessica Lange, but Nicole Kidman really deserved it this year…

Jessica Lange didn’t deserve anything for her bad impression of Joan Crawford. Get an accent coach, Jessica, you lazy fabulous bitch. I’ve seen more convincing drag queens.

It’s effectively the same performance she gives in American Horror Story. Unimpressive.

Wood has more range. She’s so talented, but lazy. Like Julia Roberts. The Emmys and Ryan Murphy need to stop rewarding her.

Ryan Murphy loves himself a gay icon that’s over 40. He will keep throwing meaty roles at Lange until she drops dead. I’d prefer if he went out to Dunaway. She’s perfect for his universe.

Disappointing in the lack of campaigning by both ladies. Where was the bitching? Where was the shade?

I almost got 100% score on my predictions. So glad Big Little Lies swept. It was telling such an important story in comparison to everything else nominated.

Who are you to decide on the importance of stories? Feud told a very relevant tale about sexism and ageism in the media.

Good on the Botoxed bitch. She was a joke a few years ago. Now look at the broad.

Pleasantly surprised that the Emmys went for Big Little Lies and Nicole Kidman over Jessica Lange and Feud. That’s the power of HBO paying off 😉
