Freeman reworked the original tagline, “Somehow, she makes even heartbreak feel good in a place like this,” offering a nod to Kidman’s influence on the big screen.

She thanked the countless directors who have shaped her journey, from Baz Luhrmann and Jane Campion to Sofia Coppola and Lars von Trier. The ceremony served as a showcase of Kidman's various roles, from Satine in Baz Luhrmann's “Moulin Rouge,” to her portrayal of Virginia Woolf in Stephen Daldry's “The Hours,” – which earned her an Academy Award in 2002.
