US ACTOR TOM CRUISE RECEIVES HONORARY OSCAR
Hollywood's elite gave US actor Tom Cruise a standing ovation when he accepted his honorary Oscar on Sunday night, the first golden statue of his decades-long career. At the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, Cruise took the stage to the cheers of his peers, including Colin Farrell and Emilio Estevez, with whom he has shared the screen, and the famous Steven Spielberg, who directed him in "Minority Report" and "War of the Worlds," to the tune of the "Mission Impossible" theme song, a staple of the 63-year-old actor's career. In a moving speech, Cruise, a four-time Oscar nominee who has never taken home the prize, talked about his passion for movies. "A thirst for adventure, a hunger for knowledge, a hunger to comprehend mankind, to develop characters, to tell a tale, to explore the globe" are all sparked by the big screen, he said. Film luminaries are honored for their achievements and accomplishments to the film business with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' annual honorary Oscars. Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, a Mexican director who helmed Cruise in the upcoming movie "Judy," honored Cruise with his Oscar. Inarritu jokingly remarked, "In this town, writing a four-minute speech to celebrate Tom Cruise's 45-year career is what is known as a mission impossible." "We are celebrating tonight. We honor a lifetime of effort, not just a filmography," Inarritu stated, adding that while collaborating with Cruise, he witnessed the actor pull off his riskiest feat to date: "No Mexican consumed as much chili as this man did." That evening, the Academy also gave honorary Oscars to country singer Dolly Parton, who was recognized for her humanitarian efforts, production designer Wynn Thomas, and performer Debbie Allen, who featured in the film "Fame."
