Aussie actress Nicole Kidman has picked up yet another award that means much more than Oscar to her.
Wearing a demure shell-pink dress and a burgundy hair ribbon, Hollywood actress collected Australia’s greatest civil honour-the Companion of the Order of Australia.
Kidman, who is also a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF, received the eminent award for her work in promoting women and children’s health, as well as cancer research.
With her parents Janelle and Antony and hubby Keith Urban, in the audience, the 39-year old actress said that her parents would be more proud than when she won an Oscar for portraying Virginia Woolf in ‘The Hours.’
Kidman stated,
It’s a pat on the back, which as a little girl is something you dream of.
The award is Australia’s equivalent to a Knighthood and was also given to two Nobel Prize winning medical researchers and the country’s top economic adviser.
