Nicole Kidman is set to receive an honorary César from France’s Académie des Arts et Techniques du Cinéma. The award will be presented at the 52nd César Awards ceremony in Paris, at the Olympia, with the announcement made by the French film academy alongside broadcaster Canal+.
Outlets also frame the honor around Kidman’s career and previous César recipients. Hollywood Reporter highlights the academy’s praise of her, saying she has not let her celebrity status shape her artistic choices, and it references her filmography including Moulin Rouge!, Eyes Wide Shut and Practical Magic. Deadline places the news in the broader context of the honorary César’s recent honorees, listing prior recipients including Jim Carrey, Julia Roberts, Christopher Nolan, David Fincher, Cate Blanchett, Robert Redford and George Clooney.
