The announcement concerns a tribute to her career as an actor and producer; the award has not yet been presented. Ouest-France and Italy’s Cinematografo report the choice and the announced timetable.
Kidman has worked with directors including Stanley Kubrick, Jane Campion and Baz Luhrmann. Her portrayal of Virginia Woolf in The Hours earned her the best actress Oscar in 2003, while Babygirl brought her Venice’s Volpi Cup in 2024. She also co-founded Blossom Films, which produced series including Big Little Lies. These milestones provide context for the career the Academy plans to honour.
