Nicole Kidman had everyone doing a double take last night, when she planted a smooch on Big Little Lies co-star Alexander Skarsgard as he took the stage to accept the Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie award. Making things even weirder? The fact her husband Keith Urban was literally sitting right there! We wonder if she ran this move by him before she did it? Doubtful!
The Internet immediately began churning out memes and losing their collective cool, but the Aussie starlet seemed oblivious to the controversy it may cause.
This wasn't Nic's only noteworthy moment of the evening, though! She also made headlines for failing to acknowledge her two kids with ex Tom Cruise during her acceptance speech for Outstanding Lead Actress, only mentioning biological children Faith and Sunday. She also took the opportunity to shed light on the topic of domestic violence as she discussed her role in the hit Netflix series.
"Sometimes when you’re acting, you get a chance to bring a bigger message. We shone a light on domestic abuse. It is a complicated, insidious disease, and it exists far more than we allow ourselves to know. It is filled with shame and secrecy, and by you acknowledging me with this award, it shines a light on it even more. So thank you, thank you, thank you," she told the crowd.

At tonight's 69th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, women stole the show!
It was ladies' night as Veep took the top prize for comedy, The Handmaid's Tale won Outstanding Drama Series and in a record-breaking SEVEN other categories for Hulu and Big Little Lies won Best Limited Series and its stars Nicole Kidman and Laura Dern took home awards for their acting.
In contrast to Hulu's surprise sweep of the awards this year, Netflix -- nominated with a whopping 91 noms, still hasn't won an acting prize or a series award. The biggest disappointment for Flix was that its hit Stranger Things, nominated in seven different categories, won nothing.
Meanwhile Veep's Julia Louis-Dreyfus picked up her sixth acting Emmy for the show, which is in its sixth and second-to-last year. And that makes her the reigning Emmys queen with the most-ever wins in all categories, having racked up nine trophies.
Host Stephen Colbert did an okay job and generally speaking, the Emmys were more interesting this year than the usual snoozefest it tends to be. Still, if you recorded the show but prefer to cut to the chase ... click through to see the full list of winners!

Ben Affleck is really making his relationship with girlfriend Lindsay Shookus official because now he's taking her to industry events and the couple even went to an Emmys pre-party Saturday night!
Lindsay had on a sexy short black mini-dress with strappy heels and ben wore an awkwardly plaid-ish suit. But the couple were having the time of their lives and it's good to finally see Ben laughing again -- he was busting out of that three-button blazer!
Linds and Ben just returned from New York where they were reported spotted house hunting together. Though neither is officially divorced from their spouse, the two apparently have plans to make their relationship a long-term one. In fact, Lindsay's already integrating into the LA scene -- she went to a SoulCycle spin class Saturday before the party!

Whoa! What happened to Khloe Kardashian's famous curves?! We can't tell if she's just got them covered up in her comfy sweats or if she's added some weight to her 24-inch waist-trained waist.
Of course sometimes a girl will let herself go a little once she gets comfortable with her man -- she'll start wearing sweats and fur slides when she leaves the house; she'll leave the makeup at home and she'll skip the blow-out. And don't go hating us in the comments for "shaming" Khloe -- you know we LOVE Khloe and we think she looks amazing, but no girl can tell us we're being sexist or politically incorrect by saying that oftentimes women take it down a couple notches once they've got their man locked down ...
Speaking of locked down ... the other explanation for Khlo looking a little on the larger side could be ... that perhaps ... she's pregnant!!!

Serena Williams is a weight-loss champ!
The tennis star showed off her stunning weight loss with this sexy selfie shot just two weeks after the she gave birth to daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian. Williams posed in front of her bathroom mirror wearing her tightest, sexiest jean shorts and guess what ... they fit!
After she and fiance Alexis (yes, same name as the baby) Ohanian, the co-rounder of Reddit, welcomed their daughter in a Palm Beach hospital on September 1, the pair decided to launch an Instagram account for their daughter which already boasts more than 33K followers after only two posts. We're guessing both numbers will grow -- as will this adorable baby! -- in no time ...

Looks like Scott is robbing the cradle!
The 39-year-old Disick took teenage Sofia Richie on a day-date in his over-the-top Mercedes G-Wagon on Friday and we see these two have plenty in common despite the 20-year age difference! Seeing as how the Lord is basically like a teenage boy, his in-your-face cars, his expensive street style (similar to Sofia's taste for Supreme x LV) and his interest in just driving around all day spending money and eating expensive sushi seems to be the PERFECT match for rich kid Richie.
The two first hung out in St. Tropez this summer with Sofia's pal Chloe Bartoli who's just one of many side pieces for Scott. And now it seems Sofia's reached the status of a SSP (Scott side piece) -- how cute! She's got her BFF's sloppy seconds ...

The Lord's in hot water!
Scott Disick just can't seem to stay away from the booze, so yesterday after spending the day with his kids, he hit up a bar in Calabasas with a male pal. He clearly doesn't care that baby mama Kourtney Kardashian is allegedly "furious" with him for spending over $10K buying jewelry for his teen "friends" like Madison Beer and Sofia Richie during a recent trip to NYC.
"Kourtney is done with Scott – she finds his behavior embarrassing. She’s totally over it and can’t help but be furious with him. Why is he hanging around with teenage girls? She’s heard that Scott blew all this cash on jewellery for himself and these girls, and she’s mortified. She's just furious - not just for how he acts but also with him for spending so much cash too – he’s blowing it," a source dished to The Sun.
"Kourt has always been the most careful with cash - yes she splashes out on cars, the house, holidays and so on, but she doesn’t just give it away like Scott’s doing!" the source added.
Rumors have been swirling that LD has been hooking up with both girls, which would be surprising given all of their six degrees of separation, but anything is possible for the sex addict! Sofia had a fling with Justin Bieber, who happened to also have a fling with Kourt before she started dating Younes Bendjima. Madison is JB's protegee, and it kind of seems like the hard partying bad boy is out to get revenge on The Biebs!
Watch his reaction in the below video when we ask if his romance with Lionel Richie's daughter is blossoming!

Nothing can slow her down!
Selena Gomez revealed yesterday that she underwent a secret kidney transplant over the summer, but she sure had a fast recovery, because she's already back on set working hard on her new Woody Allen movie. Her bestie Francia Raisa served as her donor, and the two have been open about the procedure on social media in an attempt to raise awareness for lupus.
The "Come & Get It" songstress' beau The Weeknd has been by her side every step of the way, and it's only strengthened their bond.
"Abel has been one of her biggest supports. She had been traveling with him on his tour and he was off during her surgery and right after during her recovery. He’s been very caring and it’s meant a lot to her to have him by her side," a source dished to People.
"She was feeling really lethargic and worn out before the surgery. The surgery was a couple months ago so she’s been recovering and is in a much healthier place now. Her close group of girlfriends have all been there for her," the source added.
Raisa, for her part, was more than happy to step in to help her friend, and even considered it a "blessing" in her life.
"I am beyond grateful that God would trust me with something that not only saved a life, but changed mine in the process. This was part of our story, and we will share it soon, but what is important now is that this is not the only story. For more information regarding Lupus, please go to the Lupus Research Alliance website: www.lupusresearch.org -- Love you sis, so glad we’re on this journey together. â¤ï¸ xx," she wrote on Instagram.
We wonder if Justin Bieber has sent his well wishes?
