The Moulin Rouge! movie grossed over $179 million worldwide and earned Catherine Martin two Oscars (for Best Costume Design and Best Production Design) at the 74th Academy Awards, where it received a further six nominations, including Best Picture. The movie musical starred Nicole Kidman, Ewan McGregor, and Jim Broadbent, along with John Leguizamo and Richard Roxburgh.

Danny Burstein took home his first Tony Award, after six previous nominations, for playing the Moulin Rouge's emcee, Harold Zidler.
