Speaking exclusively to Entertainment Tonight’s Deidre Behar at the event, Kidman gushed about getting support from her family.

She said: "I'm a little nervous, to be honest. Instead of saying nervous, say you're excited. So I'm excited!"

"I'm just incredibly honored to be a part of," she added. "When you look at this list of honorees, I am astounded. And to be the first Australian [honored], I'm very very proud of that,” she continued.

Kidman said she was “more than” happy to be joined by her girls, vouching for her throughout who "are old enough now to be able to come and know what this is."

"My mom is not here, but she's watching the live stream," Kidman shared. "And so to be able to do this with my family around me gives it such balance... it's very grounding,” she concluded.

For the unversed, Kidman was honored for a career in film and art. Her work has been recognized by peers and scholars over time.
