Nicole Kidman to be awarded for her work with female directors

The award ceremony will take place on May 18 during a gala housed at the festival, confirmed The Hollywood Reporter.

Kidman's dedication to working with women directors was cited as a particular reason for her selection.

In 2017, she committed to working with a woman director every 18 months but has far exceeded that target, working with almost 20 women directors.

Her approach to putting women in screens has made her a very powerful symbol of what Women in Motion has stood for in the past ten years, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Kering's chairman and CEO, Francois-Henri Pinault, praised Kidman. "Through her artistic standards, her committed choices and her concrete action to change representations in cinema, she is a powerful illustration of what Women In Motion has been defending for a decade," as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter.

Expressing her thanks, Kidman referred to it as a 'true honour' to receive. “I am proud to join this list of extraordinary women who’ve received this honor before me—artists and trailblazers I deeply admire,” she added.
