Nicole Kidman & Tom Cruise
The Oscars are always a historic night for Hollywood. Not only does the awards show honor some of the best in film, but it’s also an opportunity to see some of the hottest couples in the entertainment business! Over the years, there have been quite a number of couples who have brought some mega-wattage star power to the Oscars red carpet before the evening’s proceedings. And with another telecast of the monumental awards show drawing nearer, we can’t help but look back at some of the most memorable couple’s appearances on the red carpet.
For example, Nicole Kidman & Tom Cruise were Hollywood’s “It Couple” of the ’90s. Everyone could not get enough of the pair, but their split came as a shock. Nicole eventually married Keith Urban and Tom had his failed marriage to Katie Holmes. Want to see more of the hottest couples who’ve attended the Oscars over the years?
