Tom Cruise: A Career Worthy of Hollywood’s Highest Tribute
Though Cruise has never won a competitive Oscar despite nominations for Magnolia, Born on the Fourth of July, and Jerry Maguire, the Academy is now recognizing his monumental influence on modern cinema.
His recent successes with Top Gun: Maverick and advocacy for theatrical film experiences amid a streaming boom further bolstered his legacy.

Dolly Parton: More Than a Country Legend
While known for her legendary music, Parton has made equally massive contributions to healthcare, education, and humanitarian causes. Her Imagination Library initiative has distributed over 200 million free books to children worldwide.
From funding COVID-19 vaccine research to supporting disaster relief and rural development, Parton embodies the spirit of the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award—given to those whose humanitarian efforts have brought credit to the industry.
What Are the Governors Awards?
The Governors Awards are a pre-Oscar ceremony hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, recognizing lifetime achievement, humanitarian efforts, and outstanding contributions to film outside of competitive Oscars.
This year’s ceremony is expected in November 2025, and the honorees' impact ensures it will be one of the most emotionally charged and high-profile events of the awards season.
