Nicole Kidman delivered a heartfelt and tearful acceptance speech at the Palm Springs International Film Awards, dedicating her recognition to her late mother, Janelle.

A Tribute to Her Parents

Stepping up to the mic, Kidman immediately addressed the profound loss of her mother, who passed away in September. In a touching moment captured on video, Kidman shared that returning home for Christmas brought the realization that she had lost both of her parents. Her father, Antony Kidman, had died in 2014.

“My parents gave me the love and resilience to keep moving forward,” Kidman said, her voice trembling with emotion. She credited their influence for her strength and perseverance.

Acknowledging Babygirl and Halina Reijn

Kidman expressed gratitude to Babygirl director Halina Reijn for entrusting her with the role. She also thanked Reijn for accepting an award on her behalf at the Venice Film Festival in September, an event Kidman abruptly left upon learning of her mother’s passing.

“This film has been a transformative experience, and I’m grateful for Halina’s vision and trust,” Kidman said. Her acknowledgment underscored the deep personal and professional connections she found in the project.
