5) Nicole Kidman – “The Hours” (5 of 10)
Category: Best Actress
Year: 2002
Nicole Kidman is a fine actress and has delivered countless memorable performances. However, even she managed to win an Oscar that she didn’t deserve. Nicole won the Oscar for Best Actress for her performance in “The Hours”, which was out of the blue as she faced strong competition.
The rest of the nominees that year were Salma Hayek in “Frida”, Julianne Moore in “Far from Heaven”, Diane Lane in “Unfaithful”, and Renee Zellweger in “Chicago”. Many thought that Julianne Moore delivered a flawless performance in “Far from Heaven” and should have won the Oscar that year instead of Kidman.
