The Emmys caused quite a stir both in Hollywood and across the country, but perhaps no moment was met with as strong a reaction as Nicole Kidman and Alexander Skarsgard’s affection for one another.
Early in the night, Skarsgard took home an Emmy win for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series for his role alongside Kidman in “Big Little Lies.” The two played a husband and wife that are locked in an abusive relationship. While walking the aisle to accept his award, he stopped by his co-star's seat, and they shared a brief kiss on the mouth. While not entirely scandalous, many fans reacted on social media to the fact that the kiss happened mere feet away from her real-life husband, Keith Urban.
Several viewers took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the kiss.

Later, Kidman took a moment to address her “darling” husband during her acceptance speech for Outstanding lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie.
“I’m a mother and a wife. I have two little girls, Sunday and Faith and my darling Keith, who I asked to help me pursue this artistic path and they have to sacrifice so much for it. So… this is yours.”
