Actress Nicole Kidman is set to receive special recognition at Palm Springs International Film Festival. As per The Hollywood Reporter, Nicole will be honoured with the International Star Award on January 3 at the festival, which will run from January 2 to January 13. The honour is in recognition of Kidman’s acclaimed performance in the Babygirl, for which she won the Venice Film Festival’s best actress award.
Festival Chairman Nachhattar Singh Chandi on felicitating Nicole said, “Nicole Kidman once again showcases her unmatched talent for embracing bold and unexpected roles with remarkable ease. In Babygirl, she portrays a high-powered CEO whose life begins to unravel as she embarks on a dark, risky affair that threatens to shatter her carefully constructed world. For this tour de force performance, we are honored to present her with the International Star Award, an accolade that truly embodies Nicole Kidman.”
Interestingly, Kidman previously received the International Star Award for Lion, for which she also received a best actress Oscar nomination. Past recipients of the award include Carey Mulligan, Michelle Yeoh, Penelope Cruz, Helen Mirren, Saoirse Ronan and Charlize Theron. Yeoh went on to receive the best actress Oscar the same year she received PSIFF‘s recognition, while Mulligan, Cruz and Ronan were nominated.
Also starring Antonio Banderas and Sophie Wilde, Halina Reijn’s Babygirl centers on Romy (Kidman), a feared CEO who begins a romance with Samuel (Harris Dickinson), a much-younger intern at her company.
This year, Kidman also starred in The Perfect Couple. Her other ventures include Dead Calm, The Hours, Being the Ricardos, Eyes Wide Shut, The Others, The Beguiled, Destroyer, Boy Erased, Aquaman and the Northman. Not only this, TV series like Big Little Lies, Nine Perfect Strangers, Expats and The Undoing.
