Nicole Kidman, widely regarded as one of the greatest actresses of her time, is set to receive a prestigious award this Saturday from the American Film Institute (AFI). The Australian-born star will be presented with their Life Achievement Award, making history by becoming the first Aussie recipient.
Kidman’s illustrious career spans over four decades and has captivated audiences worldwide through her daring artistry and unparalleled screen presence. Kathleen Kennedy, chair of the AFI Board of Trustees, praised Kidman as a “force both brave in her choices and bold in each performance.”
Since making her debut on screens back in 1983, Kidman has amassed an impressive collection of accolades that includes one Academy Award, six Golden Globe Awards, two Emmy Awards, and a BAFTA Award. Her Oscar win came as recently as 2003 for her portrayal of renowned author Virginia Woolf in “The Hours.”
As the AFI prepares to honour Kidman’s outstanding contribution to cinema, it is clear that she continues to set an exemplary standard through her commitment and talent. With this accolade from the prestigious organisation, there can be little doubt about the esteem in which Nicole Kidman holds both as a person and a performer of immense stature.
