First look, Nicole Kidman as Grace of Monaco: total disaster or not that bad?

Here’s what I don’t understand: why is Nicole Kidman so desperate for another Oscar nomination? It seems like that’s been her goal for the past few years in particular, like she wants to “prove” that she’s still one of the most important actresses out there, like she was a decade ago. She did get a nomination for Rabbit Hole a few years ago, but no one really remembers it. Anyway, that was/is Nicole’s goal for Grace of Monaco. She wants to be a contender! She wants everyone to say, “OMG, Nicole Kidman looks so much like 33-year-old Grace Kelly, let’s give her an Oscar nomination for being so amazing!” Except that most of still remember that there were other, better contenders for Grace and that somebody was smoking crack when they cast Nicole. So, the first trailer for Grace of Monaco has come out and…OMG.

This reminds me so much of the first trailer for Diana starring Nicole’s friend Naomi Watts. Does Nicole look like the 33-year-old Grace Kelly (or Her Serene Highness, Princess Grace)? Not at all. They didn’t even make Nicole a real Grace Kelly blonde!!!!!!! Nicole just has the same strawberry-blonde hair that she’s had for a while. And besides that, it’s like they weren’t even trying. She doesn’t look anything like Grace whatsoever. She just looks like 40-something Nicole Kidman in pretty clothes. Which is a lot like Naomi Watts in Diana, only Naomi actually did TRY to do some Diana-ish stuff, like wear a wiglet and get clothes that looked a lot like Diana’s most famous gowns. Anyway, the same thing is going to happen, that’s my prediction: that this film will be so bad that the critics savage Nicole and the whole idea of the film. My other prediction: Nicole will not be getting another Oscar nomination this year.
