Debbie Allen, one of the honorees at the Academy Governors Awards Gala, reveals she celebrated and danced with fellow honoree Tom Cruise last night while chatting with THR on the carpet. Plus, she shares where she plans to put her Oscar!

Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Ariana Grande, Sydney Sweeney and other 2026 Academy Awards hopefuls walked the black carpet at the Governors Awards, where Tom Cruise, Debbie Allen, Dolly Parton and Wynn Thomas received honorary Oscars.

At the event, the Academy also presented honorary awards to actor Tom Cruise, choreographer Debbie Allen and production designer Wynn Thomas.

"Train Dreams" is the kind of movie that people often say they want more of, but when one actually comes along they don't quite know what to do with it. Told with an unassuming, gentle simplicity that grows into an accumulating emotional power, the film manages to feel very small and specific while also vast and expansive.

The Academy's annual Governors Awards were attended by the likes of Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Lucy Liu, Jeremy Strong and many others.
