dick clark productions announced today that Nicole Kidman, a multi-award-winning actress known for her fearlessness and intelligence, will receive the 'Hollywood Career Achievement Award' at the 22nd Annual “Hollywood Film Awards.” Her selection for this award is a tribute to the versatility of her performances over the years, with characters as diverse and extraordinary as an aspiring television personality with a dark motive in Gus Van Zant's To Die For to the iconic and complicated Virginia Woolf in The Hours; from a wife who, with her husband, embarks on an odyssey of sexual and moral discovery in Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut to Satine, the singing and dancing courtesan in Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge!; and from the unguarded adoptive mother of an orphan boy longing to help others in need in Garth Davis' Lion to a woman on the run who pays a huge price to be hidden in Lars von Triers' controversial and thrilling Dogville. With three films coming out before the end of this year, Kidman has already received praise for her transformative performance in Karyn Kusama's Destroyer and in Joel Edgerton's Boy Erased.
