Nicole has been busy filming "Australia" with Hugh Jackman, but took a little break to receive an award for her hard work off screen. She received the Companion of the Order of Australia, which is the country's highest civil honor and the same as being knighted in England! She was honored for all her charity work with kids and cancer research. Here's more:
"It's a pat on the back, which as a little girl is something I think you dream of," she said.
She added that her parents would be more proud than when she won an Oscar.
"I think the great thing about you, Ms Kidman, is what you have done to better the human condition," said Governor-General Michael Jeffery, who presented the award.
"Not only are you a tremendous actress but you are a great attribute to the nation," he added.
We've been hearing a lot about celebs giving back lately, so it's great to hear that Nicole is being recognized for her efforts. We're also loving that she put her hair back since she had been going for the not so hot frizzy look recently.

I don't know if its just me but she looks so much older???
1she looks so gross to me.
2Congratulations Nicole!
3I am beginning to think that she has had some face work. She looks all botoxed up to me...anyone else think so?
4Good for her, but is that a scrunchie in her hair?
5luv her
6Love her, but the dress color is not flattering, maybe she looks older because she's washed out? Either way the work she's doing is fabulous.

9oh guys so sorry for the triple post, my comp has been acting up lately.
10I think she looks better than usual here and I like the dress. One thing though: Nicole, you're 40, please stop with that "little girl" stuff. Scrunchies and bows are a bit young too.
11I'm not digging the dress either, the colour is wrong. As far as her hair, a scrunchie for this kind of an occassion? No, no, no. I just don't like her but glad to hear she does some good deeds!
12Good for her. I bet Angelina is pissed!!
13Whats she wearing???
..If you see us in the club we'll be acting real nice
14if you see us on the floor you'll be watchin all night..
some of us can't help the frizz - give the girl a break
15Good for her.
16That's not a scrunchie, looks like a velvet ribbon tied in a bow. Past that, her hair is frizzy. Kudos to her for not having a polished look everyday.
17Her lips look gross.
18Why does she continue to wear clothing that's not appealing? First the peasant shirt and now the washed out look?
19She should get a medal for the worst dress.

I love how with the kate post, I got mixed up as to which one, but for this one I KNEW exactly about whom you were talking. (how grammatically correct am I
yippee!)
21Yay Nicole!
Why should Angelina be pissed? She's not Australian. Too bad Nicole's kids were not able to attend the ceremony. They should be proud of their mom. I don't think they saw their maternal grandparents since the wedding. Nicole should drag
22Cruise's ass to court and change the custody arrangement. If Bella really wants to spend more time with her, as some papers reported last week, Nicole should do something about it. Her ex doesn't control the universe.
Mikka - Tom doesn't control the universe, just certain planets (according to Scientology) I couldn't resist...
23her dress is grandma
24She doesn't look that good here.
25I miss the days when Nicole Kidman looked human.
26She does look very nip/tucked. But wow, what an honor! Good for her!
27Her face seems somehow deformed.
28i think that its awesome when celebs use their public persona for good instead of evil. that being said why did she have choose a dress the same color as her face? did she not know she would be photographed?
29why is it harder to believe keith richards didnt snort his father?
she looks do pretty! I love her when she smiles!
30Good For Her, I like Nicole She looks Lovely!
31That dress looks dowdy..yeesh!
32Yay, congragulations.
33I don't really think the dress is flattering, though.
