Stars mingle and an emotional Tom Cruise finally gets his Oscar: Inside the Governors Awards
The academy also honored Dolly Parton, Debbie Allen and Wynn Thomas at its annual celebration, which is considered a key campaign stop for Oscar contenders.
Her gut has usually been right. Parton wears many hats: singer, songwriter, philanthropist, entrepreneur, brilliant businesswoman, theme park owner, star of classic films like Steel Magnolias, 9 to 5, and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, and recent honorary Oscar winner.
The 79-year-old country star appeared via video to accept an honorary Oscar for her decades of humanitarian work.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences presented Honorary Oscars to actor and producer Tom Cruise, choreographer and actor Debbie Allen and production designer Wynn Thomas at the 16th Governors Awards on Sunday at the Ray Dolby Ballroom in Hollywood.
