Tom Cruise is finally getting an Oscar — as will Dolly Parton, Debbie Allen and Wynn Thomas


Twenty-five years after Tom Cruise received his first Oscar nomination, he's finally getting a trophy.

Cruise, choreographer Debbie Allen and "Do The Right Thing" production designer Wynn Thomas have all been selected to receive honorary Oscar statuettes at the annual Governors Awards, the film academy said Tuesday. Last year's recipients included the late Quincy Jones, Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, filmmaker Richard Curtis and casting director Juliet Taylor. "This year's Governors Awards will celebrate four legendary individuals whose extraordinary careers and commitment to our filmmaking community continue to leave a lasting impact," Academy President Janet Yang said in a statement.Most recipients of the prize historically have not yet won a competitive Oscar themselves.
