Cruise delivered an emotional speech at the event, honoring the people who make filmmaking possible and celebrating the unifying power of cinema, as per Variety.
‘The cinema, it takes me around the world. It helps me to appreciate and respect differences. It shows me also our shared humanity, how alike we are in so, so many ways,’ he said.
‘And no matter where we come from, in that theater, we laugh together, we feel together, we hope together, and that is the power of this art form. And that is why it matters, that is why it matters to me. So making films is not what I do, it is who I am.’
He went on: ‘My love for cinema began at a very early age, as early as I can remember.’
‘I was just a little kid in a darkened theater, and I remember that beam of light just cut across the room, and I remember looking up, and it seemed to be just exploded on the screen.’
‘Suddenly, the world was so much larger than the one that I knew. And entire cultures and lives and landscapes all unfolded in front of me, and it sparked something. It sparked a hunger for adventure, a hunger for knowledge, a hunger to understand humanity, to create characters, to tell a story, to see the world. It opened my eyes.’
‘It opened my imagination to the possibility that life could expand far beyond the boundaries that I then perceived in my own life. And that beam of light opened a desire to open the world, and I have been following it ever since.’
Cruise was presented with the award by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, who is directing him in an upcoming — still untitled — film set to be released in 2026.
Cruise has previously earned four Oscar nominations: Best Actor for Born on the Fourth of July and Jerry Maguire, Best Supporting Actor for Magnolia, and Best Picture as a producer of Top Gun: Maverick.

Meanwhile, Sweeney, who’s still building on her already impressive acting resume, has yet to receive a nomination.
The beauty wore her short platinum locks in classic Marilyn Monroe inspired curls as she posed on the red carpet earlier in the night.
She completed her look with subtle glam and elegant drop silver earrings.
It comes following news that de Armas ended her romance with Cruise because she allegedly felt ‘uncomfortable’ with its fast pace.
The breakup was ‘Ana’s decision’ a source recently told Us Weekly on Thursday. The two quietly split several weeks ago after nine months together.
‘Things were moving fast and she started to get a little uncomfortable with how fast it was going,’ the insider shared.
The Ballerina star ‘put the brakes on’ but ‘still likes [Tom] a lot’ the source added, sharing the two have ‘undeniable chemistry’.
Though they are ‘done for now’ the two ‘have a connection’ and ‘they will see how things go in the future’.

Meanwhile Sweeney is currently romancing 44-year-old music executive Scooter Braun, following her split from ex-fiancé Jonathan Davino, 42.
She recently raised eyebrows when she was spotted quietly slipping into a car with Davino after dinner at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica.
Photographs captured the two-time Emmy nominee ducking in the passenger seat next to Jonathan, who was behind the steering wheel.
The exes dated for several years before getting engaged in 2022 and then ending the engagement this past March.
