Amy Harris and Joel Christie, The Daily Telegraph, report
Nicole Kidman is to be granted one of the great honours in the film
industry: she will be feted at a New York Film Festival gala next month.
The Film
Society of Lincoln Centre said yesterday that Kidman will be celebrated at the
50th annual New York Film Festival.
The festival will honour its longtime director Richard Pena in a second gala.
Kidman's latest flick, the indie offering The Paperboy, has been added to the festival's slate.
It's directed by Lee Daniels and stars Kidman, Zac Efron, John Cusack and Matthew McConaughey.
The gala for Kidman will take place on October 3, with the Pena event on October 10. The festival runs from September 28 until October 14.
Meanwhile, the 45-year-old yesterday spoke about her heartache over the death of director Tony Scott, who cast her in what was undoubtedly her breakout role, as neurosurgeon Claire Lewicki in Days of Thunder back in 1990.

It was on that
set that Kidman hooked up with her first husband, the recently divorced Tom
Cruise.
"I'm so so sad. I loved Tony and he was always so good to me. He will be deeply missed by so many of us that knew him," she said in a statement yesterday.
Scott, brother of filmmaker Ridley Scott, jumped to his death from a bridge in Los Angeles on Sunday.
