    Tom Cruise Walks Away With An Oscar At The 2025 Governors Awards

    Tom Cruise can finally add Oscar winner to his already long resumé.

    The four-time nominee finally received his award at the 2025 Governors Awards on Sunday, November 16. During his acceptance speech, Cruise talked about his lifelong dedication to this form of art. “Making films is not what I do, it’s who I am,” he said.

    Cruise wasn’t the only one to receive honorary Oscars for the night. Dancer, choreographer, and actress Debbie Allen and production manager, Wynn Thomas, also received their Golden Statues. Dolly Parton was awarded the Dean Hersholt Humanitarian Award.

    The star-studded annual event was held at Hollywood’s Ray Dolby ballroom, and some familiar faces, including Teyana Taylor, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and Michael B. Jordan, among others who mingled with each other until it was time to accept awards.

    The Mission Impossible star, who is set to star in director Alejandro Iñárritu’s next film, gave honor to the other honorees instead of speaking about himself. He also spoke on the importance of watching quality movies in theaters.

    “No matter where we come from in that theater, we laugh, we feel together, we hope together. That is why it matters to me,” as Vanity Fair reports.

    Tom Cruise has been previously nominated for his roles in Jerry Maguire, Magnolia, and Born on the Fourth of July. He was also nominated as a producer on Top Gun: Maverick.

    He went on to emphasize that his lifetime achievement award was not the end of his career. “I want you to know that I will always do everything I can to support and champion new voices, to protect what makes cinema powerful – and hopefully to do it without too many more broken bones,” he said.

    Congratulations to Tom Cruise and the other Honorary Oscar Winners.
