The shiny gold gown was the perfect outfit for the great evening: Oscar winner Nicole Kidman (56) was presented with the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award at a big event in Hollywood on Sunday night. Stars such as Meryl Streep, Morgan Freeman, Naomi Watts and Reese Witherspoon paid tribute to her. An Australian actor or actress received the prestigious award from the American Film Institute (AFI) for the first time.
The AFI Lifetime Achievement Award, presented since 1973, honors individuals whose work has enriched the American cinema. In addition to Streep and Freeman, previous honorees include Sean Connery, Michael Douglas, Jane Fonda, Dustin Hoffman, Steven Spielberg, Diane Keaton, George Clooney and Denzel Washington.
Kidman walked with her husband Keith Urban and their daughters Sunday Rose (15) and Faith Margaret (13) on the red carpet in front of the Dolby Theatre, where the Oscars are traditionally presented. “Babygirl – I’m so proud of you,” the Urban country star wrote on the X platform, formerly known as Twitter. The list of previous award winners would speak volumes. The singer also listed all 49 recipients, from John Ford in 1973 to Kidman, adding a red heart to their names.
“All the support around the world is under great pressure,” Kidman wrote on Instagram. She thanked the American Film Institute for including her in this “distinguished group of honorees.” The organization hailed Kidman as a “real screen icon” who embodies old Hollywood glamor but is also willing to take risks when choosing roles.
Kidman appeared in films such as Deadly Silence, Days of Thunder, To Die For, Eyes Wide Shut, Moulin Rouge, Dogville and Being the Ricardos. She won the Oscar for Best Actress in 2003 for “The Hours”. With a big nose, she was barely recognizable in the blunt role of the depressive writer Virginia Woolf.
