Nicole Kidman’s Big Night As She Receives 49th AFI Life Achievement Award
Nicole Kidman is honored with the AFI Lifetime Acheivement Award in Hollywood
Her husband Keith Urban perhaps gave the night’s most emotional tribute, not just to her talents the world could see, but to their private lives as well including a heart wrenching story of how his wife, shortly after their marriage, helped to pull him out of a downward spiral of addiction. The Dolby ballroom, the same area where the Oscars take place only with seats removed and jam packed with dinner tables, was also decked out with some stunning portraits of Kidman adorning the walls and demonstatring not just her incredible range as an actress, but also effectively showing her as a worthy successor to some other actors who have shared this same honor since it was created nearly a half century ago (92 year old AFI founder George Stevens Jr. was among those who were in the audience). Dead Calm, To Die For, The Portrait Of A Lady, Eyes Wide Shut, Moulin Rouge!, The Others, The Hours, Dogville, The Human Stain, Cold Mountain, Birth, Australia, Rabbit Hole, The Family Fang, Lion, Destroyer, Boy Erased, Bombshell, Being The Ricardos, Big Little Lies, The Undoing, Nine Perfect Strangers, Expats, and those film and television achievements are just a few.
