Nicole Kidman will be honored with the International Star Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival.
The Film Awards will take place on Jan. 3, 2025, with the festival running from Jan. 2 to Jan. 13.
“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,” says Festival Chairman Nachhattar Singh Chandi. “For this tour de force performance, we are honored to present her with the International Star Award, an accolade that truly embodies Nicole Kidman.”
The actress 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, Penélope 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.
Kidman joins previously announced honorees Adrien Brody (Desert Palm Achievement Award), Conclave (Ensemble Performance Award), Colman Domingo (Spotlight Award), Mikey Madison (Breakout Performance Award) and Emilia Pérez (Vanguard Award).
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 credits include Dead Calm, The Hours, Being the Ricardos, Eyes Wide Shut, The Others, The Beguiled, Destroyer, Boy Erased, Aquaman and the Northman, as well as TV series like Big Little Lies, Nine Perfect Strangers, Expats and The Undoing.
