The National Board of Review (NBR) Awards Gala is usually a night of glitz, glamour, and heartfelt speeches, but this year, unexpected moments stole the spotlight. Hollywood’s A-listers Nicole Kidman, Ariana Grande, and Cynthia Erivo became the talk of the town for reasons no one saw coming.
In a surprising twist, Nicole Kidman took to the stage to accept her award and casually chugged an entire glass of milk during her speech. The unusual choice left the audience in stunned silence before erupting into applause. Social media immediately went wild, with memes flooding platforms within minutes. While Kidman didn’t explain her dairy-heavy move, fans speculated it might have been an inside joke or a power move in true Kidman style.
But that wasn’t the only headline-making moment of the evening. Pop superstar Ariana Grande, who is set to star alongside Cynthia Erivo in the highly anticipated Wicked adaptation, was reportedly seen giving icy stares towards her co-star throughout the night. According to sources at the event, Grande appeared visibly uncomfortable whenever Erivo took the spotlight. Rumors of behind-the-scenes tension have been circulating for months, and this public display seems to have added fuel to the fire.
Despite the awkward vibes, both stars remained professional, posing for photos and keeping interactions cordial — at least in front of the cameras.
Whether it was Nicole Kidman’s unexpected milk moment or the simmering tension between Ariana and Cynthia, the NBR Awards Gala gave Hollywood fans plenty to talk about. One thing’s for sure: the drama behind the scenes is often just as captivating as the movies these stars create.
