Nicole Kidman’s chance for an award at the 2017 Golden Globes has come and gone. The Australian actress, 49, lost out to Viola Davis, who won Best Supporting Actress for the feature filmFences.

I wonder what’s going through Kidman’s head right now?

Likely she’s relieved that after a morning of preparations – and having her pulled and her makeup done and too much hairspray and more makeup applied – she is finally free from people poking and prodding her. She’s run the paparazzi gauntlet. She’s answered questions about the sleeves on her Alex McQueen dress. Now, it’s time to enjoy.

She might be in awe, sitting in the auditorium at the 74th Golden Globe Awards. Maybe it never gets old, surrounded by some of the world’s most famous faces – on the stage in front of her, in the seats next to her. She being one of them, of course. Maybe she’s taking it all in: the voices of huge personalities, lots of booze, filling the void above her.

Her heart might have skipped a beat when she didn’t receive an award tonight. But I hope not.

More than anything, she should be proud.
