Nicole Kidman to receive honorary César in Paris

Nicole Kidman will receive an honorary César at the 52nd César Awards in Paris on 25 February 2027, recognising her work as an actress and producer, the award’s organisers and French broadcaster Canal+ have announced.

The organisations said the prize honours an actress and producer who has never let fame guide her choice of roles. The ceremony will take place at the Olympia Theatre.

Kidman, 59, won the Academy Award for best actress in 2003 for playing Virginia Woolf in *The Hours*. Her other film credits include *Moulin Rouge!*, *Eyes Wide Shut*, *The Others* and *Dogville*. In 2024, she won the Volpi Cup for best actress at the Venice Film Festival for *Babygirl*, directed by Halina Reijn.

She also founded production company Blossom Films, which is behind series including *Big Little Lies*, *The Undoing* and *Nine Perfect Strangers*, in which she starred. Kidman is a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations.
