Yesterday evening Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts decided to spice things up on stage at the Women In Film’s Crystal + Lucy Awards, which were held in Los Angeles. In a series of photographs, Kidman, 47, can be seen grabbing 46-year-old Watt’s face as she leaned in to kiss her.

The friendly gesture was highly appreciated by the audience and sparked a series of cheers from the crown who were able to witness the two stars locking lips. While Kidman accepts her award, she explains the shower caps have something to do with female empowerment and her own career regrets: “I am horrified to report that I passed on the part she offered me,” she said. “My excuse was that I had final exams to study for, but the truth is the part would have required me to appear up on the screen wearing a shower cap and kissing a girl…I wanted to be the kind of actress with long flowing hair who kissed boys.’
Making a case for teenage girls who want to pursue their dreams, the actress urged everyone to encourage girls to realise their dreams.
“Let’s pledge together today to be there for that girl, to support her artistically, emotionally [and] financially. Let us create opportunities for her and teach her to manage that inner voice that is trying so hard everyday to hold her back,” she said. “Let us show her that she is strong, smart and talented and she deserves every part that might interest her and at equal pay, too.”
