Jackman won't poke fun at Nicole

Fun-loving Oscars host Hugh Jackman has given pal Nicole Kidman a pass at the Academy Awards - he won't be poking fun at her.

The actor, who teamed up with Kidman in 'Australia', insists the actress can rest assured she won't be facing any embarrassment at the Oscars - because he knows she'll be mortified if he picks on her.
