The Golden Globes are all about celebrating the year's biggest achievements in TV and movies, but some stars from the world of music were in the audience too! Country singer Keith Urban attended the 82nd annual event in support of his wife of 18 years, Nicole Kidman.
Nicole was nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for her role in Babygirl. It marked her 18th Golden Globe nomination, and, while she didn't take home the trophy this year, she had the support of her doting husband.
Host Nikki Glaser did not hold back during her opening monologue, and that included calling out the long-time couple, who were seated front-and-center at the ceremony.
Nikki joked about Timothée Chalamet, Glen Powell, and Martin Short before turning her attention to Nicole and Keith: "This is your 20th Golden Globe nomination, I mean, incredible. Thank you so much for all of your hard work. Thank you. Thank you for working so hard, and thank you to Keith Urban for playing guitar around the house so much that she wants to leave and make 18 movies a year. Keep strumming, you kooky koala."
Keith took the joke in stride, sitting with his arm around his wife and laughing. Viewers at home appreciated her speech too, commenting, "Her tone is just so perfect. She roasts people, but it never feels mean or over the top. So so talented" and "BRILLIANT! That’s how it’s done."
