The Governors Awards happened in Los Angeles this last weekend and as part of the celebration, Tom Cruise received and honorary Oscar. The actor, who has been dubbed “Mr. Movies” by fans, has been nominated for an Academy Award in the past but did not win. But as the man who is responsible for keeping the art of cinema alive, we should have given him the honorary one during the actual ceremony.
Cruise is someone who you either love or, at the very least, you respect what he’s done for cinema. He is a champion of movies in theaters, he’s been quoted as seeing every movie that comes out, and he is probably single-handedly keeping the popcorn industry in business. But more than that, it is clear that Cruise genuinely cares about movies and the movie-going experience.
