They come to this place to celebrate Nicole Kidman's magic.
On Saturday, the actress was honored with a Life Achievement Award from the American Film Institute during a star-studded gala in Hollywood. The Oscar-winning "Big Little Lies" star, 56, and her husband, Keith Urban, took photos on the red carpet with their daughters Sunday Rose, 15, and Faith Margaret, 13.
Kidman's sister Antonia Kidman and niece Sybella Hawley also joined her on the carpet, and Naomi Watts, Reese Witherspoon, Michelle Pfeiffer, Cynthia Erivo and Morgan Freeman were among the stars who attended the event.
Kidman wore a gold gown and took a bow as she received a standing ovation upon taking the stage. In a speech, Urban described his wife as "raw" and "resilient," according to video shared on social media by Variety. "She has the capacity to love like no one I've ever met," Urban said before telling Kidman that "next year will be 20 years that I've been madly in love with you."
Freeman also starred in a parody of Kidman's famous AMC ads, with the "Shawshank Redemption" actor paying tribute to the magic of the actress herself. "Somehow, she makes heartbreak feel good in a place like this," he said in the spoof video, according to a clip shared by The Hollywood Reporter.

Jimmy Fallon was 'totally blindsided' when Nicole Kidman told him they once dated

Speaking to Deadline, Fallon recalled being embarrassed during an infamous 2015 interview where Kidman revealed she used to have a crush on him. Years earlier, the two met at the comedian's apartment, which he thought was simply to see if he was the right fit for a movie role. But on "The Tonight Show" years later, she told Fallon that "I liked you," leading a stunned Fallon to ask, "Did I date Nicole Kidman?" A YouTube clip of the interview, titled "Jimmy Fallon blew a chance to date Nicole Kidman," has received more than 60 million views.
Fallon told Deadline that Kidman "totally blindsided him" by dropping this bombshell. "My face just melted," he said. "It was the most embarrassing thing."
But according to Fallon, this has turned into a running joke between himself and Urban. He recalled jokingly approaching Urban at the Met Gala and telling the musician, "I think that we might have dated once." Fallon also recounted a time Urban urged him to approach Kidman at an event and hold her hand so she would think he was her husband.
"I sat next to Nicole and I grabbed her hand and she held it like it was Keith's, probably," he said. "She was kind of rubbing it and she was having this conversation, and then he went across the table to the person she was talking to, and he's like, 'Hi, Nic.' And she's like, 'What? Jimmy, what are you doing?' It was his idea!"
