Nicole Kidman has won the Volpi Cup for Best Actress at the 81st Venice Film Festival for her performance in 'Babygirl'. However, she was unable to accept the award in person due to the sudden passing of her mother, Janelle Ann Kidman. Halina Reijn, the director of 'Babygirl', accepted the award on her behalf, sharing a heartfelt message from Kidman. In her statement, Kidman expressed her shock and heartbreak, dedicating the award to her mother, who she said shaped, guided, and made her. Kidman had to leave Venice shortly after arriving to be with her family during this difficult time.
