Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts ‘Have Grown Apart’ After Emmy Nominations Pitted Them ‘Against Each Other’


Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts have been best friends for decades, but 'they have grown apart over the last 20 years,' sources exclusively tell Closer.

Naomi emerged with a nomination for Best Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for her work on Feud: Capote vs. the Swans, while Nicole walked away empty-handed in that category after heavily campaigning for her role in the international miniseries Expats, which she also executive produced. The two can still “sit down and relive old times — and they do that when they get a chance — but this last Emmys nominations period saw them pitted directly against each other, and Nicole was especially invested in her project Expats, which she personally produced and got off the ground,” the source notes.
