Nicole Kidman paid homage to her character in the film “Babygirl” while accepting the award for best actress at the National Board of Review Gala in New York City on January 7. The 57-year-old actress incorporated a steamy scene from the A24 erotic thriller into her acceptance speech, raising a glass of milk in reference to a scene from the movie.
During her speech, Kidman declared, “I’m going to raise a glass of milk to all of the baby girls in the room,” before swiftly downing the entire contents of the glass to cheers from the audience. She then playfully remarked, “Good girl,” and blew a kiss as she exited the stage.
The milk-drinking moment referenced a scene in “Babygirl” where Kidman’s character, Romy, a CEO and mother, shares a glass of milk with Samuel, played by Harris Dickinson, with whom she is embarking on an affair. The intimate exchange involves Romy making direct eye contact with Samuel as she finishes the drink and wipes her mouth.
The director, writer, and co-producer of “Babygirl,” Halina Reijn, revealed that the scene was inspired by a personal experience she had involving a similar gesture with a glass of milk from a younger man at a bar. Reijn described the encounter as a bold and captivating moment that left a lasting impact on her.
Kidman also suggested that viewers might want to watch “Babygirl” alone, hinting at the film’s provocative content. The movie is currently showing in theaters.
