Nicole Kidman Alexander Skarsgard Kiss Emmys

Twitter

Nicole Kidman kissed Alexander Skarsgård on the lips when he won an Emmy for his performance in “Big Little Lies” on Sunday night — and her husband, Keith Urban, joined in the applause.

While the public sign of affection for her costar didn’t seem to faze the country singer, the Twitterverse had a far more extreme reaction.

“Nicole Kidman kissed Alexander Skarsgard on the lips right in front of her husband … The ultimate power move,” tweeted one user.

“Nicole Kidman kissing Alexander Skarsgard on the lips in front of her own husband. A HERO. A LEGEND,” tweeted another.

Reactions ranged from utter confusion to awe, and many rushed to support Kidman in kissing her costar.

To be clear I would also kiss Nicole Kidman and/or Alexander Skarsgard in front of my husband. No question.

Skarsgård won the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series Emmy for his role as Perry Wright in “Big Little Lies.” Others nominated in the category were Davis Thewlis, Alfred Molina, Stanley Tucci, Bill Camp and Michael Kenneth Williams.

Kidman and Skarsgård played husband and wife in an abusive relationship –Skarsgård’s character would often beat and belittle Kidman’s, but the abuse would eventually lead to sex.

Emmys 2017 Fashion Ranked, Worst to Best (Photos)

Carrie Coon.

Coon’s dress did not flatter her body at all and the haircut she decided to sport made “The Leftovers” star look much older than she is.
Getty Images
Amanda Crew.

Not only did the color not work, but the dress left nothing to the imagination as it exposed basically her entire torso. Didn't really work. At all.
Getty Images
Kathryn Hahn.

This shapeless polka dot dress is going to be a no for us.
Getty Images
Ariel Winter.

Winter never really cares what people say about her, and she definitely makes another statement with the dress she wore to the Emmys.
Getty Images
Brandon Flynn.

His suit ensemble was put together a little too carelessly. The shoes were too casual and the tie was awful.
Getty Images
Heidi Klum.

Meh. The top model didn't really bring her A-game this time. She wore a pretty boring dress and matched it with tribal bangles… it just didn’t go together.
Getty Images
Claire Foy.

You could argue her look was pretty timeless, but her jumpsuit just looked way too casual for an occasion like the Emmys.
Getty Images
Anna Chlumsky.

The color didn't really do much for Chlumsky and the dress itself was kind of distracting.
Getty Images
Rachel Bloom.

It's like one of those awkward grandma dresses.
Getty Images
Jane Fonda.

Don’t get us wrong, Jane Fonda does and always will look amazing. But the dress and the hairstyle weren't really age appropriate and is very different from her usual classy style.
Getty Images
Mackenzie Davis.

This lime green and ivory ensemble was just a complete eye sore.
Getty Images
Reese Witherspoon.

Witherspoon looked like she was going to a business meeting instead of an awards show.
Getty Images
Tracee Ellis Ross.

The dress kind of just ballooned out way too much at the bottom, which lost us.
Getty Images
Deon Cole.

We don't know what he was thinking with this plaid suit, but it's a no.
Getty Images
Mandy Moore.

It looked like a prom dress turned cake topper gone wrong.
Getty Images
Sarah Hyland.

Hyland is of course beautiful, but this dress looked a little too casual for the Emmys.
Getty Images
Kate McKinnon.

McKinnon’s dress was just okay. It fit her well, but we felt like we’ve seen this look on her before.
Getty Images
Laura Dern.

We loved the top part of the dress but wished it would've just continued to the bottom of the dress. Instead, it went downhill from there.
Getty Images
Elisabeth Moss.

Yeah, it’s a pretty dress, but it’s kind of boring. We wish Moss would’ve just spiced things up a bit.
Getty Images
Sofia Vergara.

Beautiful as always and her white dress accentuated her curves, but it was nothing new.

Getty Images
Padma Lakshmi.

Her pink strapless mermaid gown was stunning, but nothing super extraordinary.
Getty Images
Millie Bobby Brown.

Just adorable!
Getty Images
Jeremy Maguire.

What a cutie pie, and we loved his little cape!
Getty Images
Gaten Matarazzo.

We loved the three-piece suit and the pocket square – the only thing that didn't really work were the black shoes.
Getty Images
Shailene Woodley.

Her velvet green gown and blonde hair really complemented each other. She looked great.
Getty Images
Yvonne Strahovski.

The “Handmaid’s Tale” star looked timeless and stunning.
Getty Images
Donald Glover.

He decided to rock a purple suit and we're here for it.
Getty Images
Tituss Burgess.

The pop of gold is so Tituss and so great.
Getty Images
Judith Light.

This woman is a beauty beyond time. Everything, from her makeup to her dress to her stance, looked perfect.
Getty Images
Matt Bomer.

When has Matt Bomer ever not looked good? Once again, he killed it with his Emmys look.
Getty Images
Michelle Pfeiffer.

The “mother!” star stunned on the red carpet in a black lace gown. LOVE.
Caleb McLaughlin.

What a stylish young fella the “Stranger Things” cast member is! While everyone went for a black or navy suit, McLaughlin went for the boldest of the bold look and we’re totally here for it.
Thandie Newton.

Her strapless blush colored gown was just PERFECT. Made her look like the queen she is.
Gina Rodriguez.

Rodriguez looked flawless in the red embroidered gown that had a plunging neckline. Her hair was pulled back to expose her décolleté and we’re totally here for this look.
Getty Images
Laverne Cox.

When has Laverne Cox ever not slayed?
Getty Images
Angela Sarafyan.

Her bold yellow dress was all kinds of beautiful and hugged her body perfectly. The off-the-shoulder look with puffy sleeves was a gorgeous touch.
Getty Images
Tessa Thompson.

Her metallic multi-colored flare out dress stole the red carpet -- she really strayed from the usual array of boring Emmy gowns and won.
Getty Images
Felicity Huffman.

What a timeless gown. And the exposed back just added that extra touch of glam. The actress simply looked stunning.
Getty Images
Leslie Jones.

Jones’ sparkly black dress made her look like an elegant queen. The sheer panels and thigh high split added a touch of sexy.
Getty Images
Yara Shahidi.

YAAAASSSSS!!! She can do no wrong.
