Tom Cruise Receives Honorary Oscar at 63

After nearly 40 years and four Oscar nominations, Tom Cruise finally wins his first Oscar

— and it's honorary! At the 2025 Governors Awards, the legendary Tom Cruise,

now 63, received an Academy Honorary Award for lifetime achievement, presented by director

Alejandro G. Iñárritu. Known for performing his own death-defying stunts in the Mission

Impossible series and starring in blockbusters like Top Gun, Cruise has never

won a competitive Oscar despite iconic roles in Born on the Fourth of July and Jerry Maguire.

In his emotional speech, he called filmmaking not just what he does,

but who he is, promising to continue supporting and championing the art form and new voices in cinema.
