Nicole Kidman's Emotional Win at the 2018 SAG Awards

Actress Nicole Kidman delivered a powerhouse performance as Celeste Wright in the hit show "Big Little Lies," and her efforts have been celebrated far and wide. At the 2018 Screen Actors Guild Awards in LA, Nicole took home the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries award. As she stepped up to the podium, the mother of four couldn't hold back her emotions. "Yikes, I'm crying! This means so much to me," she expressed. Reflecting on her long career, the 50-year-old star said, "I've been working since I was 14 years old." With her voice trembling, Nicole paid tribute to her family, saying, "I am nothing without you. What a blessing!"

A Strategic Thank You

Following some criticism for not mentioning her children Bella or Connor Cruise by name in her recent acceptance speeches, Nicole opted for a broader approach this time around. Instead of naming individual family members, she extended her heartfelt gratitude to her entire family as a unit. Nicole, who confessed to working late into the night on a project and battling the flu, also praised the entertainment industry for its evolving attitudes. She acknowledged that actresses over 40 now have more opportunities than they did decades ago. "To receive this at this stage in my life is extraordinary," Nicole said, emphasizing the industry's current supportive climate. "Twenty years ago, we were pretty washed up by this stage. Now, we're potent and powerful and viable."
