The wife of singer Keith Urban took home the award for best lead actress in a limited series for 'Big Little Lies' at the Emmys.
In the award-winning series, Kidman plays a woman named Celeste, who, from the outside, appears to have a loving relationship with her husband Perry (Alexander Skarsgard) but behind closed doors it's a different story.
During her winning speech, she said, "Sometimes when you're acting, you get a chance to bring a bigger message - we shine a light on domestic abuse," she said.
"It is a complicated, insidious disease that exists far more than we allow ourselves to know. It is filled with shame, secrecy and, by you acknowledging me with this award, it shines a light on it even more. So thank you," she added.
The 'Scary Spice' in the middle of a messy split from her estranged husband Stephen Belafonte, who she was married for nearly ten years and has accused him of "emotional and physical abuse."
The troubled couple also shares a six-year-old daughter named Madison who they are currently battling for custody over the little girl.
