Festivale di Cannes 2025: Nicole Kidman Ricevitore della Decima edizione del Premio Women in Motion Award
Washing'ton's Chatter:
Phew, it's official! Nicole Kidman, our beloved Aussie screen siren, is set to receive the Women in Motion Award at this year's Cannes Film Festival, joining a league of impressive lasses who've graced the world of cinema with their talent and tenacity.
This badge of honor recognizes women who work tirelessly to promote the position of women on the silver screen and beyond. Sounds like Kidman's exactly the kind of gal they're looking for, huh? With her commitment to backing female directors that's as unwavering as a cliffside approaches, she’s earned her place in the spotlight.
The Hollywood Reporter spilled the beans that the award ceremony will take place on May 18 during a swanky soiree at the festival. Word on the street is that Kidman's relentless pursuit of gender parity in Hollywood is what secured her the award, since way back in 2017, she vowed to team up with a female director every 18 months, and she's blown past that goal, working with nearly 20 women in the director's chair.
Kidman's pledge to push for equal representation in cinema stands as a shining example of what the Women in Motion movement's been advocating for over the past decade, as per THR.
Francois-Henri Pinault, Kering's big cheese, had an admiring word or two to say about Kidman. He beamed that she's "a powerful illustration of what Women In Motion has been defending for a decade," adding that her commitment to pursuing female-led projects "speaks volumes about her dedication to equal representation."
Nicole Kidman couldn't help but gush about the honor, remarking it as "a true honor" to join the ranks of inspiring women who've received this prestigious award.
And before you think she's plenty busy, hr's still got plenty in the pipeline. You can catch Kidman back in the mishmash of secrets in 'Nine Perfect Strangers' on Hulu, a series she exec produces, and in upcoming projects, 'Margo's Money Troubles', costarring Elle Fanning, and 'Scarpetta', opposite Jamie Lee Curtis.
She's in good company, too, having joined a roster of fellow honorees including Jane Fonda (the first recipient in 2015), Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis, Isabelle Huppert, Patty Jenkins, Gong Li, Sabine Wess, Salma Hayek Pinault, Viola Davis, and Michelle Yeoh.
Here's to another incredible woman using her platform to inspire, making strides towards gender parity, and wowing us at the Cannes Film Festival!
