The French Academy of Cinema Arts will present Nicole Kidman with an honorary César for her lifetime achievement in film. The Australian actress will receive the award at a ceremony in February 2027.
In a statement, the academy described Kidman as “a Hollywood star and a significant figure in auteur cinema”. It also noted that she “has built a career that defies any classification” and has never allowed her star status to dictate her creative choices.
Kidman’s achievements include an Oscar for her role as Virginia Woolf in The Hours, five Golden Globes, a special prize from the Cannes Film Festival, a Silver Bear from the Berlinale, the Volpi Cup from the Venice Film Festival, and BAFTA and Screen Actors Guild awards.
In 2025, the honorary César went to Jim Carrey. In previous years, the award was given to Julia Roberts, Christopher Nolan, David Fincher and Cate Blanchett.
