Tom Cruise was presented with an Academy Honorary Award during the Nov. 16 Governors Awards, and it’s no surprise that the larger-than-life movie star had a blockbuster acceptance speech.
The award was presented by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, who is directing Cruise in an upcoming, as-yet-untitled film set to be released in Oct. 2026.
Upon accepting the award, Cruise gave an emotional speech paying tribute to all of the people who make films possible, as well as the unifying power of cinema.
Cruise has been nominated for four Oscars in the past: Best actor for “Born on the Fourth of July” and “Jerry Maguire,” best supporting actor for “Magnolia” and best picture for his role as a producer on “Top Gun: Maverick.”
The Governors Awards red carpet drew scores of actors eager to join the awards season race this year, including Jennifer Lawrence, Michael B. Jordan, Sydney Sweeney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Dwayne Johnson, Emma Stone and many more.
