What's so good about....

Nicole Kidman??
I mean, is she a good actor??
It's probably that she has a nice face...

but she's way too cocky.

Are there more actors/actresses that you think don't deserve the reputation they receive??

What makes you think Nicole Kidman is cocky? I always thought she was kind of shy and modest. Is she a good actor? I don't know, you'll have to watch some movies she's featured in. Go see Cold Mountain or rent Moulin Rouge. And since none of us really know what actors are like when they're not acting or giving interviews, I think we should be gentle in our assessments of them.

I agree, I don't think there is anything wrong with Nicole Kidman...She seems fine to me.

I don't really know about any other good actors/actresses that don't get much attention. Phillip Seymour Hoffmann maybe, Fred Willard is really funny too...

I dunno, there are actors and people I like, but I usually focus on the directors and past history to see whether I wanna see a movie.

I think she's famous because she's Aussie.. it's just like Kylie Minogue and her music. You either like her, or you don't. Mel Gibson and the Passion.. like it or don't.

Key point: The AUSSIE factor.

what the ****?

1. she's a GREAT actress
2. she is very pretty...that always helps in Hollywood, duh
3. too cocky? explain. she seems very shy and modest...she like covers her mouth and giggles when Jay Leno makes *somewhat* controversial jokes

Kidman deserves the rep...

As for people who don't?

tough to say...everyone who's been involved with Academy Award winning movies have earned their props, IMO. This was a good year for actors...Bill Murray, Johnny Depp, Sean Penn, Ben Kingsly...all great performances. Tim Robbins, Benicio Del Torro, Renee Zelwegger, Charleze Theron, Naomi Watts.....all top of their game.

Ben Affleck is a terribly overpaid, overexposed actor...but I think a lot of that has to do with his thing with J-Lo. The music industry is where people are REALLY overrated.

Yeah, i think Nicole Kidman is very talented. And I wouldn't mind looking like her (most of the time).

I do agree with the Aussie thing but I really do think Nicole has a lot of talent to back it up. And props to Johnny Depp and the Lord of the Rings people...lots of talent there.

I never really looked at anyone not deserving anything. Everyone has control of their destiny, it just so happens, other people feed off of their glory.

We like to see actors/actress/musicians win awards, especially those we like. If they won it, they probably deserved it.

I terribly despise people who go around saying "They suck" or "He/She sucks!"

I'm not implying anyone or anybody said that in this thread but thats my opinion. Again the Aussie factor comes into play... You like them or you don't.... but they will never suck because they're getting farther in life than you are.

e.g. "Vanilla Ice was such a crappy rapper! Look at that hair do!"

Vanilla Ice got famous for rapping like he did, and he actually was KNOWN for that do...

^ thats my point, and it isn't that sharp, so you shouldn't get prickled by it
