Nicole Kidman broke down in tears onstage at the Palm Springs International Film Festival awards gala on Friday while dedicating an award to her late mother, who died last fall.
The actress, who was on hand to accept the International Star Award for her performance in Halina Reijn’s “Babygirl,” was overcome with emotion during her acceptance speech.
After Kidman thanked Jamie Lee Curtis, who mentioned Kidman’s mother in a glowing introduction about love, and showed gratitude to Reijn for casting her in “Babygirl,” the Australian actress acknowledged she was “still grieving” the death of her mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, who died at 84 in September 2024.
