Nicole Kidman will receive the Women in Motion Award at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. The award celebrates women who help push female voices forward in movies and society.
The big moment will happen on May 18 during a fancy gala at the festival. Kidman is getting the award for supporting female directors throughout her career.
Back in 2017, Kidman promised to work with a female director every 18 months. She’s gone above and beyond, teaming up with nearly 20 women since then.
This effort has made her a standout example of what the Women in Motion program stands for. For the past 10 years, it’s been highlighting the impact of women in film.
Kidman called the award a “true honour” and said she’s thankful to be recognized. Her work isn’t just on-screen—it’s helping shape the industry itself.
She joins a star-studded list of past winners like Jane Fonda, Viola Davis, and Salma Hayek. Now, Kidman takes her place among these icons pushing cinema forward.
