Nicole Kidman cries up as she dedicates the Palm Springs Award to her late mother

The ‘Babygirl’ star’s mother Janelle Ann Kidman died in September 2024.

Nicole Kidman honored her late mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, by dedicating her latest award for the movie Babygirl to her.

On Friday, Jan. 3, Kidman, 57, received the 2025 Palm Springs International Film Festival’s international star award from Jamie Lee Curtis, who also mentioned Kidman’s mother.

After thanking Babygirl filmmaker Halina Reijn for casting her in the movie, Kidman noted that she is “still grieving” after Janelle’s death.

Kidman teared up as she began to say she was dedicating the award to her mother, since she was unable to do so at the Venice Film Festival.

“Thank you for giving me the chance to say, ‘This is for my mom,’ ” Kidman said as the audience erupted in applause. “My whole career has been for my mom and my dad, who are not here now.

I’m still going to keep working and giving to the world because I love what I do and I love you all, and I’m so grateful for the privilege to be a part of the film community.”

“I’m sorry that I’m crying, I didn’t want to do that,” Kidman said. “But I feel my mom right now so this is for you.”

The Caldwell Street station reeked faintly of iron, dust, and the tired breath of a city that never truly slowed down. Overhead, fluorescent tubes flickered and hummed, washing the platform in a pale light that made every commuter look drained, as though the day had already taken too much from them. The 6:47 southbound train was due any minute. People stood tightly packed, waiting without speaking.
