Best actress Oscar nominee Nicole Kidman shot her mouth off and got shot for Harper's Bazaar. Let's listen in, shall we?

On Rabbit Hole: "As soon as we got the rights to make the film, I was terrified. But I have that relationship with everything I do. I want it, then I get it, and then I don't want it. I've worked like that my whole life. So yeah, Maui was definitely a breather."

On moving to Nashville: "It was perfect timing, because I had nowhere to live. I was living out of suitcases when I met Keith. I suppose in the back of my mind I was waiting to meet somebody. And I wanted it to be that if that person didn't live in New York or Los Angeles, I would be able to move. In the back of my head, I was thinking I may have to put my roots down somewhere. I was going to move to Oregon. "

On meeting Keith Urban: "I remember thinking, Oh, my God, if you ever gave me a man like that, I promise I would be completely devoted for the rest of my life. Something that wild. I remembered praying after I met him that I'd meet somebody, if not him, like him. "

On her personal style: "I like boy-girl looks. I have no sense of what's fashionable; I just know what I like to wear. I don't believe in something being in and out. You know those lists? That probably goes along with the whole way I live my life. I don't like kind of changing with the wind; I like sticking to my own self. "

On family versus career: "I like to ask people if they would rather have a great love that lasts a lifetime or an amazing career where you go down in history. Some people do answer that they want an extraordinary career."

Okay, wait. She was wandering around homeless and living out of suitcases because she didn't have a man? That may be one of the most unintentionally pathetic things we've ever heard. And does anyone else think her "Jesus, give me Keith Urban and I'll be a good girl" story was both a little pathetic and a little bit unbelievable?

As for the pictures...

MaxMara Jumpsuit

Despite her reputation as a legendary clotheshorse, she's not much of a model. These look like family vacation pictures. Here's one of Nicole sitting on steps. Oh, and here's one of Nicole in a greenhouse. And remember that time we took a picture of Nicole in front of a tree? Good times.

Bitchery aside, she looks very pretty. Her hair (assuming it's both hers and hair) hasn't looked that good in ages. And despite the uninspired posing, the clothes look great on her.

2011 SAG Awards Part 3: Where the Boys Are

Hammtastic.

We're gonna stretch our muscles and see if we can find something to say about each of the men. Warning: this is going to get repetitive. Hit it, boys.

Andrew Garfield in Burberry

The blue tuxedo was a chic choice and while we do believe it's permissable and even stylish to wear brown shoes with a blue suit, we'd never recommend it for a formal look.

Chord Overstreet in Emporio Armani

Not bad. The fit seems a little roomy. Take half an inch off the hem of the pants.

Chris Colfer in Dior

You're wearing a freaking Dior tuxedo, Babygay. Straighten and tighten that tie. He went for a skinny fit in the pants (which he can pull off), so the extra fabric around his angles doesn't bug as much.

Christian Bale in Gucci

Same thing he wore to the Globes; same reaction from us: tuxedos with black shirts read as organized crime. Although as you'll see, we feel some of the men pulled off this tired look last night.

Colin Firth

Perfection. Except for the hair. Colin, you're an Oscar nominee. No one will judge you if you use a little product in your hair.

Cory Monteith in Calvin Klein Collection

We like the silver tie, but we think the look would have been better with a white shirt. Hem Watch: Looks like a good 2 to 3 inches need to go.

Dennis Haysbert

Perfect fit.
Hem Watch: perfect.

Ed Helms

He looks cute but the fit is a little off.
Hem Watch: maybe an inch. He's close.

Edgar Ramirez

We couldn't tell you about the fit because he's got his hands shoved in his pockets like he's watching a golf tournament.
Hem Watch: perfect.

Harry Shum Jr.

This kid has real style. Wearing a pink shirt and blue tie with a metallic tuxedo and PULLING IT OFF. Bravo.
Hem watch: Just so.

Hugh Dancy in Ralph Lauren

Looks fine.
Hem Watch: perfect. The Brits tend not to look like they're standing in a hole. They get it.

Jack Robbins

He's a cute kid and (as far as we know) not a star, so he did alright for himself. The black shirt doesn't detract in this case.
Hem watch: about right, which is no easy task with a guy this tall.

James Franco in Gucci

Standard, but well done.
Hem watch: very good. Have these boys been listening to us?

Jeff Bridges

What a striking couple they are. He looks great. So does she.
Hem watch: very good, but are those SUEDE shoes? With a tux? Oh, Jeff. Put the bong down before you make decisions like this.

Jeremy Renner in Dolce & Gabbana

Lorenzo has just admitted a crush on him, so Tom thinks he looks AWFUL and should be SET ON FIRE. Naah. He looks good, except for the oddly wrinkled pants. He must have gotten a little limo BJ on the way over.

And THAT's why the gays make for better red carpet commentary, bitches. Not even Joan Rivers would have come up with that last line.
Hem watch: a skosh too much.

Jesse Eisenberg in Dolce & Gabbana

Far be it for us to defend Giuliana, but we thought he was kind of obnoxious to her last night. Anyway, it's a nice looking tux, but he's a rumpled mess.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson

It's so sad when the gays let us down on the red carpet. Let's break this down: His pants don't match his jacket, he's wearing a windowpane plaid shirt with a tartan plaid tie, and he bottomed it off (pun unintended!) with a pair of brown shoes. Dude, you are so fucking fired.
Hem watch: That's one thing he got right.

John Krasinski in Prada

We thought he looked really adorable last night, which is odd, because he never did anything for us before. He can even pull off the black shirt,
Hem watch: Quel désastre. He looks like a Clydesdale wearing shoes.

Jon Hamm in Calvin Klein Collection

It would be nearly impossible for him to look bad. However, the fit on the jacket seems a little snug in the midsection.
Hem Watch: Looks like he could take off a good 2 or 3 inches.

Josh Duhamel in Calvin Klein Collection

Good. Nothing to write home about.
Hem Watch: Almost right. Still a skosh too long.

Josh Hutcherson

He's kind of adorable. We saw The Kids are All Right finally and while we thought the cast was uniformly excellent, the picture itself was kind of annoying. Anyway, he looks good. We wish he'd tightened the tie.
Hem Watch: Excellent, Padawan.

Josh Pence

Ca-HYUTE! The fit is great.
Hem Watch: Well, nobody's perfect.

Justin Timberlake in Simon Spurr

He can be pretty irritating and full of himself, but he really looks great here. Love the tie.
Hem Watch: almost there.

Keith Urban

We just can't get over his hair. We've seen less highlights and lowlights on your average Mary Kay rep. Anyway, the suit looks fine, but he should be slapped - and hard - for walking the red carpet with his jacket undone and his hand in his pocket. And unless he's planning on leaving early for his job as a construction foreman, those shoes should have never seen the light of day.
Hem Watch: It's a little difficult to assess with his GIGANTIC SHOES blocking our view.

Kevin McHale

We like that he's a bit of a hipster dandy and that he takes risks, but nothing's working here. Don't like the tie-lessness, don't like the boutonniere, which is way too large and besides, why are you wearing a boutonniere to an awards ceremony anyway? Those are for wedding and proms. Could you imagine if all the women started carrying bouquets or wearing wrist corsages to the red carpet.
Hem Watch: got that part right.

LL Cool

On just about anyone else, we'd have opinions about that hat and that shirt, but it's so totally LL and he's so freaking cute that he makes it work.
Hem Watch: Oy. He's not THAT cute.

Mario Lopez

Standard, but fine.
Hem Watch: could stand to lose an inch.

Mark Ruffalo

Oh, PLEASE. If you're above it all, then don't come. But if you're coming, PUT THE EFFORT IN. He looks ridiculously sloppy.
Hem Watch: Do you really need to ask the question?

Mark Salling

Russian mafia enforcer. Not fabulous.
Hem Watch: it hurts our eyes.

Matthew Morrison

EWWWWW!

EWWEWWEWWEWWEWW.

So sleazy looking. You're not at a nightclub, buddy.
Hem Watch: worst of the night. You could take a full 4 inches off those pants. Amazingly, this is not the worst thing about his outfit.

Michael C. Hall

This isn't a very good picture of him. Even so, someone with his coloring should stick to the classic white shirt.
Hem Watch: tragic.

Michael Pitt in Calvin Klein Collection

He always looks like he needs a good scrubdown. And no, we don't mean that in a sexual way. He really looks dirty all the time. He's pulling off the look, though.
Hem Watch: Not perfect, but not bad.

Patrick Stewart in Calvin Klein Collection

J'ADORE JEAN-LUC. And always have. A charming, intelligent, sexy man. He looks fabulous.
Hem watch: Perfection, bien sûr.

Steve Buscemi

He looks perfect, head to toe.

Steve Carrell

He always looks great in a tux.
Hem Watch: could have taken half an inch off.

Warren Beatty

Well, he's Warren Beatty. He's been wearing tuxes several times a year for over 50 years. He knows what he's doing.

2011 SAG Awards Part 2

Round 2, ladies!

2011 SAG Awards Part 2

Round 2, ladies!

Lea Michele in Oscar de la Renta Spring 2011

In a lot of ways it's a standard Lea Michele look, which should tell you something. She's been a star less than 2 years and she's already fallen into a rut style-wise. It's not a bad look at all, though.

Amber Riley in Anne Barge

We went back and forth on this. A LOT. But the bottom line is, she's a big girl. There's no dress that's magically going to make her look thinner and besides, there's no reason for her to attempt that or even want that. This dress celebrates her bod; it flatters her and balances her out by adding volume in other areas; and it's an attention-getter of a dress. Good for her. She looks like she loves the way she looks. We love the hair and makeup.

Barbara Hershey

It almost had something. There's a little visual interest with the unusual print and good styling could have taken it somewhere, but it just looks like a nightgown here. Puff up the hair, slap on some bangles and a showy necklace, and walk it like you mean it. That's how you make a dress like this work.

Cara Buono in J. Mendel Fall 2010

Hair and makeup are good and we like the color of the dress. Herein endeth the compliments. There's just way too much going on here and none of it's going on in a way that flatters her. The dress looks like it has a tumor.

Claire Danes in Louis Vuitton

We'll always applaud a print on the RC. Not sold on the belt, but the rest of it works fine. Hubby looks like a barrel of laughs, doesn't he?

Sarah Hyland in Max Mara

Pretty and understated. Nothing to get excited about but nothing to pan either. She looks sweet.

Hilary Swank in Versace

Enh. Nothing much of interest here.

Eva Longoria in Georges Hobeika Couture Spring 2011

We made fun of this on Twitter last night for being too boobtastic, but it really does look good on her. It moved beautifully. She has a tendency to sometimes wear tacky dresses on the RC, so this is a move in the right direction for her.

Helena Bonham Carter in Marc Jacobs

The Priscilla Presley hair is a little cray cray, but we just love her look here. Stylish and fabulous, but still totally HBC.

Jane Krakowski in Badgley Mischka

We didn't like this dress at all. We can't quite put our finger on why. Sometimes these metallic dresses work and sometimes they don't. We don't understand why she paired those shoes with this dress, though. Black shoes would have upped the drama.

Jayma Mays in Jenny Packham Spring 2011

We hated this on TV, but it looks a lot better here. This might not be the best color for her, though. Makeup's good but the hair's a little goofy.

Jenna Ushkowitz in Badgley Mischka

It's not as noticeable here, but on TV, you could see her belly button through the dress, which prompted us to come up with a new fashion rule: If we can see your belly button through the dress, IT'S TOO TIGHT. The fit is fine elsewhere, but it's really tight across her midsection.

Julia Ormond in Johanna Johnson

It's pretty. We like the belt and the draping in the bodice, but it does make her boobs look like they're melting.

Juliana Margulies in YSL

Pretty if unspectacular. The real news here is her super cute arm candy. Break us off a piece of THAT.

Kate Mara in Hervé Léger by Max Azria Spring 2011

Mmmm, no. It's like there's all these things going on, but there's no payoff. Does that make sense? The dress is less than the sum of its parts.

Katrina Bowden in Max Azria

Pretty. Standard.

Kyra Sedgwick in vintage Thierry Mugler

We thought she looked amazing in this dress. She's got a killer bod and the styling was kept to a minimum. A simple pair of dangly earrings and big hair is all a gal needs when she's wearing this.

Naya Rivera in Aurelio Costarella

The silhouette is lovely and it moves beautifully. It has a '30s Harlowe feel to it, but that detail at the bust makes it look her boobs are running away from each other.

Paz de la Huerta

Wow. Somebody got to her. She's been deprogrammed. We don't think she's ever shown so little skin in public. We actually like this dress a lot. The makeup is awful once again and the hair looks too casual. That lip color makes it look like she's been drinking coffee out of a bowl all day.

Annette Bening in Tony Ward Couture Fall 2010

Freaking flawless. No more needs to be said.

Rosario Dawson in J. Mendel

It's kind of plain, but the color is really gorgeous on her. We like the pairing here. Not everyone would pick those earrings and shoes, but we think whoever did has a good eye. We hate the one-shoulder hairstyle, though.

Tina Fey in Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2011

There has to be a new stylist in the picture. No one makes that dramatic a turnaround all by themselves. She has never looked this good, full stop. But a black pump was not a good choice with this dress.

Valerie Bertinelli

It's a lovely dress in a beautiful color that suits her really well. And she looks amazing for her age. The problems? First, the "1974 Country Music Awards" hair; second, really bad lip color; third, uniboob

Heather Morris in Romona Keveza Resort 2010

She looks amazing here. Never, ever looked this good before. Brava, darling.
