After decades of being overlooked, underestimated and sometimes just flat-out ignored, a Hollywood mainstay is finally getting some richly deserved recognition. Bravo! No, not to Tom Cruise for that honorary Oscar - to the Academy for making sure the world's last remaining movie star will turn up for their next broadcast.

Tom Cruise, Dolly Parton, Debbie Allen and Wynn Thomas are set to be the honorees at this year’s Governors Awards, as given by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the organization behind the Oscars.
