The [_Bohemian Rhapsody_ ](http://time.com/5495937/bohemian-rhapsody-bryan-singer-controversy/)star stopped by _Jimmy Kimmel Live!_ on Tuesday night and Kimmel asked Malek to relive the moment in great detail. It all started when Kidman announced that _Bohemian Rhapsody_ won the award for Best Motion Picture (Drama). Malek thought a quick onstage greeting wouldn’t be a problem. Turns out that is not the case onstage at one of Hollywood’s biggest awards show. In the event that [Malek](http://time.com/5495937/bohemian-rhapsody-bryan-singer-controversy/) forgot one single second of his seeming snub from the _Big Little Lies_ star, Kimmel replayed it. Twice—and in slow-motion. Malek couldn’t help but laugh at the video. “I’ve known her for many years despite as it may seem from that video,” Malek explained. “It was very awkward,” he said. “I feel like this is probably haunting me on the internet right now.” He may be right after Kimmel’s highlight reel. Luckily, Malek had a big night with his [win for Best Performance](//time.com/5494459/golden-globes-winners-2019/) by an Actor in a Motion Picture (Drama) for his portrayal of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury and awkward moments don’t usually make it to IMDB listings. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5496710/rami-malek-on-nicole-kidman-golden-globes/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5496710/rami-malek-on-nicole-kidman-golden-globes/"},"headline":"Rami Malek Reliving This Awkward Encounter With Nicole Kidman Will Make You Appreciate How Smooth You Really Are","datePublished":"2019-01-09T14:46:09.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:56:46.614Z","description":"Malek's story is so awkward, you'll feel suave.","url":"https://time.com/5496710/rami-malek-on-nicole-kidman-golden-globes/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Late Night Television","Nicole Kidman"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0fdbf058beb6c8d1/698942efe76ad2d9e8633f10/ramimaleknicolekidmangoldenglobes.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0fdbf058beb6c8d1/698942efe76ad2d9e8633f10/ramimaleknicolekidmangoldenglobes.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"76th Annual Golden Globe Awards - Show","caption":"Rami Malek on his encounter with Nicole Kidman at Golden Globes","creditText":"Handout—NBCUniversal via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5496710/rami-malek-on-nicole-kidman-golden-globes/","name":"Rami Malek Reliving This Awkward Encounter With Nicole Kidman Will Make You Appreciate How Smooth You Really Are"}}]}] ```
