Nicole Kidman: Tropfest with Cate Blanchett!

Nicole Kidman and Cate Blanchett serve as judges at the Tropfest 2012 short film festival held at The Royal Botanic Gardens on Sunday (February 19) in Sydney, Australia.

“This [festival] is how we all got our start, all the people working on the jury and obviously [actor and Tropfest founder] John Polson,” Nicole, 44, shared. “It’s all about film and young filmmakers and giving people a chance. It’s fantastic.”

“It takes a lot now for me to want to act,” Nicole added. “I have a one-year-old [daughter Faith] and a three-year-old [daughter Sunday]. It takes a lot to drag me out of home.”

FYI: Nicole wore a Gucci dress with Manolo Blahnik shoes and an Omega Ladymatic watch. Cate is wearing a Hussein Chalayan outfit.
