The stars of [women-forward](http://motto.time.com/4674706/reese-witherspoon-nicole-kidman-little-big-lies/) drama [_Big Little Lies_](http://time.com/4722273/big-little-lies-finale-review/) are known for having fun on set. So unsurprisingly, solidarity was in the air when Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern, Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley and Zoe Kravitz embraced, cheered each other on, stared into each other’s souls and generally slayed the game at the Emmys. The [miniseries](http://time.com/4673242/big-little-lies-author-liane-moriarty-interview/) based on Liane Moriarty’s book about moms in Monterey, California took home eight prizes in the limited series categories, including victories for Nicole Kidman and Laura Dern. And there was Dern perched in the crowd with her Emmy cheering on Kidman who gave a moving speech about spotlighting domestic violence. And here was Witherspoon visibly moved by Kidman as well. The internet loved it. > [](https://twitter.com/%5FkellyQ/status/909607416651747328) > [](https://twitter.com/bobbyfinger/status/909608165578330113) > [](https://twitter.com/jade%5Fmichelle/status/909608391135383552) Ever the turbo mom, Witherspoon took the Instagram’s to share her happiness. So did Kravitz. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4938836/big-little-lies-cast-at-emmys/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4938836/big-little-lies-cast-at-emmys/"},"headline":"The Power of the Big Little Lies Sisterhood Was Going Strong at the Emmys","datePublished":"2017-09-18T13:24:46.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:47:12.416Z","description":"The Big Little Lies cast was full of support for each other at the Emmys.","url":"https://time.com/4938836/big-little-lies-cast-at-emmys/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","awards","Nicole Kidman","awards season","emmys 2017"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4256fcee3583cf1a/6988de3497cdff1c026b27aa/2017-emmy-awards-big-little-lies1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ashley Hoffman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4256fcee3583cf1a/6988de3497cdff1c026b27aa/2017-emmy-awards-big-little-lies1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2017-emmy-awards-big-little-lies","caption":"Nicole Kidman, center left, Reese Witherspoon, center right, and cast and crew accept the award for outstanding limited series for \"Big Little Lies\" at the 69th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sept. 17, 2017, at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.","creditText":"Chris Pizzello—Invision/AP","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":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4938836/big-little-lies-cast-at-emmys/","name":"The Power of the Big Little Lies Sisterhood Was Going Strong at the Emmys"}}]}] ```
