Nicole Kidman's contribution to the stellar Hollywood career of her ex-husband Tom Cruise was glossed over at the world's biggest film festival this week.

Snubbed: Nicole Kidman's contribution to the stellar Hollywood career of her ex-husband Tom Cruise (pictured on Wednesday) was glossed over at the Cannes Film Festival this week .

The three films the couple co-starred in between 1990 and 1999 - Days of Thunder, Far and Away and Eyes Wide Shut - were all featured in the highlight reel.

Cruise and Kidman shared a romance both on and off screen during filming, but the Cannes montage only showed a clip of Cruise behind the wheel of a race car.

Omission: The three films the couple co-starred in between 1990 and 1999 - Days of Thunder (pictured), Far and Away and Eyes Wide Shut - were all featured in the highlight reel, but none of the scenes Kidman shared with her then-husband made the cut in the montage.

Even the pair's much-publicised collaboration with legendary filmmaker Stanley Kubrick on Eyes Wide Shut was hardly given its due.
