I love Nicole Kidman. I love her movies. I love her TV shows. I love her range of genres and prestige. I love how frequently she works with women directors. I love how frequently she works period. I love how much she genuinely loves cinema. And, yes, I love her AMC ad.
In Babygirl, she gives one of her career-best performances and we just can’t stop talking about it. So even though at Autostraddle we tend to focus our attention on queer actresses, I’m making an exception today.
Join me in celebrating this one of a kind Gemini and find out which Nicole Kidman movie best describes you. (Of the 10 options I’ve selected… she’s been in a lot of movies.)

We love a quiz where every possible result is a great result! Shoutout to gay icon and Zazz chanteuse Nicole Kidman for almost never making a bad movie.
You are The Hours!

You are depressed and gay. Or, perhaps, you are in touch with a poetic depth of feeling. Either way you’re filled with literary levels of longing and ennui.
I feel so called out. 😅
Came in wanting Eyes Wide Shut and I got Eyes Wide Shut. But then I realised that perhaps the only weirdos who get Eyes Wide Shut are those who actively desire getting Eyes Wide Shut so it is in fact a self fulfilling prophecy. Also picking the “Erotics of Masks” option probably does some of the heavy lifting.
I am blessed to have one of these T-shirts: https://www.instagram.com/p/C4HKlryPDQf/?img_index=1&igsh=MzRsMjVkNmd4ZHp6
I chose the heartbreak line as my favourite so of course I got The Hours!
I have not watched my result (Birth) but very much appreciated this quiz because Nicole Kidman is foundational to my gay psyche due to her performance in The Golden Compass, which came out when I was twelve. I then embarrassingly wrote an essay about said crush in my creative writing class my last year of high school. Coming out to your English teacher in an essay about Nicole Kidman? Gay. And it has all now come full circle with Nicole Kidman’s presence on this gay website, so thank you. 😂
