The biographical film the 44-year-old actress starred in was an intimate look at the extraordinary rise, fall and redemption of televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker as she played the titular role.
Meanwhile Kidman played Hollywood icon Lucille Ball in the film that followed her and husband Desi Arnaz as they face a crisis that could end their careers and another that could end their marriage.
The talented A-listers faced stiff competition as they were also up against Olivia Colman (‘The Lost Daughter’), Lady Gaga (‘House of Gucci’), and Jennifer Hudson (‘Respect’).

Chastain – who underwent a major transformation to become American televangelist Tammy Faye Messner – was shocked by the win as she said: ‘Whoa! Wow. Okay. I’m real surprised.
Thank you, SAG-AFTRA for this. I’m completely stunned. Thank you. I want to thank my team. I have the best team ever. Paul, Hilda, Steve, Nicole. My producer partners, Kelly and Rachel and Gigi.’
She continued her speech by thanking Andrew Garfield, who played Tammy’s husband and fellow televangelist Jim Bakker, and Tammy herself as she said: ‘And everyone in this room knows that a performance is only as good as the people around you.
‘So I have the best acting troupe one could have with Andrew Garfield, I mean, I’m so lucky. This is a dream of mine to play Tammy Faye. She was a trailblazer.
‘And she wrapped her arms around those who were repeatedly cast aside and she launched herself into decades of LGBTQ love, and I worked on the project for ten years, and I hope that I made her story — we made her story the way that she would be proud of.
‘I wanted to be an actor my whole life. Since I was a kid, it’s the only thing I ever thought about. There were years of studying and auditioning, and not getting jobs.
‘And I know what that feels like and the loneliness of what that feels like. For those of you who are struggling, and feeling unseen, I just want you to know to keep going, because you’re one job away. I promise. And the thing that kept me going was you. It was everyone in this room.
