Nicole Kidman was the belle of the ball at yesterday’s Emmys. She looked like a freaking queen in a crimson Calvin Klein by Appointment pleated gown, won the damn Emmy for Best Lead Actress in a Limited Series win, and gave an impassioned speech about the scourge of domestic violence to boot.
But uh – she also kissed Big Little Lies co-star Alexander Skarsgård. On the lips. Right in front of her salad husband Keith Urban.
Yes, that’s Keith appearing on the left, smiling and clapping (through the pain??).
Now don’t get me wrong. This isn’t to shame Nicole Kidman. I, too, would absolute make out with Alexander Skarsgård given half a chance, in front of my non-existent husband. We all would. There’s not a soul among us who watched True Blood who hasn’t thought about licking the eyelids the tall and handsome Swede at least once.
But it’s confusing none-the-less. Is it… a Swedish thing? I once saw an interview with Skarsgård where he was asked if he minded getting naked so often on the vampire sex show, and he just swung his head round to look up at the host and said, “I’m Swedish.”
People had just so many questions, and we have so little answers.
Wait… why did Nicole Kidman kiss Skarsgard, right in front of her husband??? #Emmys pic.twitter.com/wF1hD1vkq1

Neither Nicole, Alex or Keith have offered up any explanations so far. Keith is the only one of that lot with a public social media presence, and all he tweeted was this:
SOOOOOOO proud of you baby – and Reese and ALL the BLL family!!!!!!! – KU #Emmys

Meanwhile, Alex’s secret-but-not-that-secret Instagram account simply posted a shot of his Emmys date and longtime friend, Jack McBrayer.

That’s great, guys, BUT IT’S NOT ANSWERS.
Whoever interviews any of these people next has a moral imperative to ask about the kiss.
Meanwhile, let us all just appreciate:
