Janelle died at the age of 84 in September – just hours before Nicole was awarded the Best Actress gong for her role in Babygirl at the Venice Film Festival.
Nicole was forced to return to her native Sydney to be with her family after the devastating news.
‘Today I arrived in Venice to find out shortly after, that my beautiful, brave mother Janelle Ann Kidman has just passed,’ Nicole revealed in a statement read by director Halina Reijn upon her win.
‘I am in shock and I have to go to my family, but this award is for her, she shaped me, she guided me, and she made me.
‘I am beyond grateful that I get to say her name to all of you through Halina, the collision of life and art is heart-breaking, and my heart is broken. We love you all.’
Nicole was supported by Keith and their two daughters Sunday Rose, 16, and Faith Margaret, 14, at her Janelle funeral.
In December, she revealed the last words her late mother said to her before her death as she appeared on CBS Sunday Morning in the US.
She said Janelle told her to ‘take care of yourself’.

‘The final words my mama said to me, I was gonna get on a plane, and she said “Maybe wait a minute, because you just need to take care of yourself, Nicky,”‘ Nicole said.
The Hollywood actress said she has since taken her mother’s advice to heart.
‘I’m doing that more, and I say that to other people in the world. Particularly women. I think we tend not to care of ourselves. We take care of everybody else but the last person is here,’ she said.
The Babygirl star added her mother Janelle wasn’t the only woman in Nicole’s family with sage advice.
‘My grandmother left me with “Be happy” and my mother said “Take care of yourself.”‘
