Nicole Kidman has been awarded the 49th American Film Institute Life Achievement Award, one of the most prestigious prizes in Hollywood. Kidman is the first Australian actor to receive the honour.
Though both her parents were absent – Kidman’s mum Janelle is in Sydney, and her dad Tony passed away in 2014 – she said she felt their contribution to her life and the path that led her to the AFI’s highest honour, deeply. Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban arrive at the 49th AFI Lifetime Achievement Award Tribute Gala.Australia’s consul-general in Los Angeles, Tanya Bennett, described the event as a huge moment for Australia. “The first Australian honoured with this award, I think it’s a huge deal,” she said. “Nicole Kidman is such an ambassador for Australians working in film.”
The award was first given out in 1973, and it’s intended for artists whose careers have “fundamentally advanced the art of film and whose achievements had been acknowledged by film scholars, critics, their individual peers and the public.”
