Nicole Kidman will receive the International Star Award at the 28th Annual Palm Springs Film Festival this year. The fest is set for January 2–16, 2017.
“One of the world’s most luminous and versatile actresses, Nicole Kidman has filled so many unforgettable roles including her performances in ‘The Hours,’ ‘Moulin Rouge!’ ‘Cold Mountain,’ ‘Rabbit Hole,’ and dozens more,” said Festival Chairman Harold Matzner. “The Palm Springs International Film Festival is honored to present the International Star Award to Nicole Kidman.”
Kidman was awarded at Palm Springs in 2005 also, where she was granted the Festival’s Chairman’s Award. Kidman is an Oscar, BAFTA, and Golden Globe-winning actress whose career has spanned decades.
In her latest film, “Lion,” she plays an adoptive mother to a lost Indian boy who expresses his desire to search for his birth family once he becomes an adult. The drama hits theaters November 25.
Previous female winners of the festival’s International Star Award include Helen Mirren and Saoirse Ronan.
