Taking home an Oscar is no longer "Mission: Impossible" for Tom Cruise.
The perpetually brown-haired Cruise, 63, humbly accepted an honorary Oscar at the 16th annual Academy Governors Awards on Sunday, Nov. 16, along with country music icon Dolly Parton, choreographer/producer Debbie Allen and ground-breaking production designer Wynn Thomas.
"Making films is not what I do, it is who I am," twice-Oscar-nominated Cruise said from the podium of the Roy Dolby Ballroom, a ballroom away from the Dolby Theatre where the Oscars are annually held.
Cruise promised to continue making "cinema powerful. Hopefully without too many more broken bones."
