Sad Nicole Kidman
She dedicates the award to her late mother
Nicole Kidman was honored at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. She tearfully dedicated the award to her late mother.
Nicole Kidman (57) picked up an award on Friday evening (January 3rd) at the Palm Springs Convention Center. The Australian-American actress was honored with the International Star Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. She was recognized for her role in the erotic thriller “Babygirl.”
Kidman first thanked “Babygirl” filmmaker Halina Reijn (49) on stage. She then explained that she was still grieving for her mother. Kidman’s mother Janelle Ann (1940-2024) died last September at the age of 84. The actress explained tearfully that she wanted to dedicate the prize to her after she was unable to do so in Venice. Kidman was in attendance at this year’s Venice Film Festival, where she was scheduled to accept the Best Actress award. In the Italian city she learned of her mother’s death, and Kidman quickly canceled the awards ceremony.
“Thank you for giving me the opportunity to say, ‘This is for my mother,'” Kidman said in Palm Springs. Her entire career is for her mother and father, who are not here now. “I’m still going to keep working and giving to the world because I love what I do and I love you all and I’m so grateful for the privilege of being part of the film community,” explained Kidman, who opened up about her emotional outburst apologized. “I’m sorry for crying, I didn’t mean to do that. But I’m feeling my mother right now, so this is for you.”
“Bold and unexpected roles”
As early as mid-November 2024, Kidman will receive the prize. “We are honored to present her with the International Star Award for her outstanding performance in ‘Babygirl,’ an award that Nicole Kidman truly embodies,” festival chairman Nachhattar Singh Chandi said in a statement. Nicole Kidman once again demonstrates her incomparable talent for taking on bold and unexpected roles with remarkable ease. In ‘Babygirl’ she portrays a high-ranking business executive whose life falls apart when she embarks on a dark, risky affair. that threatens to destroy their carefully constructed world.”
The 36th Palm Springs International Film Festival takes place from January 2nd to 13th, 2025. “Babygirl” opens in German cinemas on January 30th.
