Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman accepted her Glamour Award via video link from her bed on Tuesday (03Jun14).

The Oscar winner has pulled out of a number of promotional commitments for her ill-received new film Grace of Monaco after falling sick with a bout of bronchitis, and she was unable to attend the British magazine's annual prizegiving in London.

Kidman was feted with the Outstanding Contribution prize for her Hollywood career, and she accepted the award in a video message filmed while she was in bed at her home in the U.S.

She told the camera, "I'm sitting here in bed in Nashville, Tennessee, wishing I was there,. I'm here in my pyjamas, silk pyjamas, but they are pyjamas... I really don't feel like I deserve it right now so it's probably the nicest time to get something like this."
