A nice rave for our Nicole

I do love the woman, she may not always make the best decisions when it comes to her roles (usually the 'pay cheque' rolls) but she consistently challenges herself with the lower key material she chooses.
Looks as though she has another role to do so. This time in the mega blockbuster fantasy "His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass"


The Guardian has reviewed it and says this:

"This is the very best sort of part for her: statuesque, elegant, seductive, with a hint of cold steel. In many ways, it's her juiciest character since the sociopathic meteorologist in To Die For."

He goes onto say:

" But it certainly looks wonderful, with epic dash and a terrific central performance from Nicole Kidman, who may come to dominate our children's nightmares the way Robert Helpmann's Child Catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang once did ours."

May be too early to start screaming about possible nominations, but with the possibility of Cate 'I'm a greedy little Oscar whore" Blanchett going to lead for "I'm Not There", there is a space for a star in Supporting Actress.
