00:00 First of all, this is so stunning.
00:02 Gold, glittering like the goddess you are.
00:04 How do you feel?
00:06 I'm a little nervous, to be honest.
00:08 I'm, I'm, they say, instead of saying nervous,
00:11 say you're excited.
00:12 So I'm excited.
00:14 (laughing)
00:17 If you think about your incredible career,
00:20 one Oscar, six Golden Globes, two Emmys,
00:23 a star right here on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,
00:26 and I hear they cut out at the top there,
00:29 'cause it's right up there.
00:30 I was like, what?
00:31 Can't do Nicole like that.
00:33 And tonight, the AFI Life Achievement Award.
00:36 When you think about the incredible legacy
00:38 that you've built, what emotions come up?
00:41 I'm just incredibly, I'm honored to be a part of the,
00:47 when you look at this list of honorees, I am astounded.
00:51 To be the first Australian on it,
00:54 I'm very, very proud of that,
00:56 and to be able to stand here and also bring,
01:00 my girls are old enough now to be able to come
01:04 and know what this is.
01:05 My sister's here with all of her children.
01:08 One of them's not here.
01:09 Hi, Mish, we miss you.
01:10 My mom is not here, but she's watching a live stream.
01:14 And so to be able to do this with my family around me,
01:17 I think gives it such balance.
01:20 And I've dedicated a huge amount,
01:22 I mean, I started working at 14.
01:25 We saw the throwback on Instagram.
01:27 If that little girl could see us.
01:30 I have to tell you, I was watching you take photos
01:32 with Sunday, with Faith, with Keith.
01:34 To have--
01:34 Trying to take care of them all, I'm like,
01:36 Like a good mom.
01:37 Yes, to have that kind of support on a night like tonight,
01:40 what does that mean?
01:41 Yeah, it's very grounding 'cause we're all at the,
01:45 they've been here with me, my sister,
01:48 and all of the cousins, and it gives the girls a sense of,
01:53 I think, just the strong sense of family.
01:56 No, I think for them, they're more like,
01:58 is my dress okay?
01:59 'Cause I'm very, I just wanna make sure
02:02 everyone else is having a good time.
02:04 And I hope it's a good show for everyone.
02:07 That's my personality.
02:08 You worry about everybody else.
02:10 You got nothing to worry about.
02:11 My final question, you have mastered the stage, theater,
02:14 film, and I love so much that tonight, AMC is a sponsor.
02:18 We come to this place for magic.
02:22 We come to AMC theaters to laugh, to cry, to care.
02:27 It is such a rare art to master a viral campaign.
02:32 SNL, celebrities, what do you make of the impact
02:35 that your AMC ad has had on pop culture?
02:38 I'm just thrilled that it's put AMC sort of right up there
02:43 because I was there to help them.
02:48 And so I'm just so glad.
02:49 And we had a group of people behind the scenes,
02:52 Billy Ray, who's here tonight,
02:54 and Jeff, who he and his brother directed it and shot it.
02:59 And they all just chipped in
03:00 and it was really a labor of love.
03:02 And so to have it then embraced like that was great.
03:07 Adam told me earlier, part two.
03:08 Good in a place like this.
03:11 Somehow, heartbreak feels good in a place like this.
03:15 Part two might be in the works.
03:16 Yes, yes, I'll do anything for them because we want,
03:21 and they're doing well.
03:22 I want people to go to the theaters.
03:25 I want people to go and sit in dark theaters
03:28 and watch movies.
03:29 Yes, you can watch things on television,
03:31 but you should have the access to it.
03:33 And we need to keep them alive and keep film alive.
03:36 I love film.
03:38 We love you in film.
03:39 Thank you for all your good work and congratulations.
