Nicole Kidman Drinks Glass of Milk Onstage While Accepting Best Actress Award

The actress recreated a memorable scene from her film 'Babygirl' during her National Board of Review Gala acceptance speech.

Nicole Kidman, 57, chugged a glass of milk onstage at the National Board of Review Gala in New York City on January 7 while accepting the Best Actress award for her role in the erotic thriller 'Babygirl.'
The gesture referenced a pivotal scene in the movie where Kidman's character, Romy, drinks a glass of milk sent by her younger intern, played by Harris Dickinson, during the start of their affair.
Kidman concluded her speech by raising the glass to 'all the baby girls in the room,' finishing the milk in seconds, and saying 'Good girl,' echoing a line from the film.
The film, directed by Halina Reijn, explores themes of power, desire, and identity, with Kidman portraying a tech CEO navigating a relationship with a much younger subordinate.
The milk scene in the movie was inspired by a real-life incident shared by Reijn, where she was sent a glass of milk by a younger actor, which she described as a bold and sensual moment.
