Nicole Kidman was honored with the Life Time Achievement Award at the event. Streep didn't shy away from showering praises for Kidman. In a heartfelt speech, Streep addressed Kidman and said, “You’re like a mustang, a workhorse, and a champion racer all in one, but one whose spirit, they’ll never break. Never.”

Streep also spoke about the Kidman’s brilliant range of work. She said that Kidman’s list of credits and good deeds in the world would take a normal person three lifetimes to achieve.

She continued, “Your life and your resume challenges everything we know about how many hours there are in the day and how many places a woman can be at one time.” She expressed that it’s hard not to envy Kidman but at the same time, it is impossible to not be in “awe” of her. She continued, “When an actress bares all and leaps off into the unknown, she dives deep into the darker parts of what it is to be a human being.”

Streep added that she doesn't think that it’s Kidman’s bravery but love for her profession. She said that Kidman has a blend of appetite, curiosity, and recklessness.
