Tom Cruise to receive honorary Oscar in career first - Screens - Arts & Culture

US actor and film producer Tom Cruise will receive an honorary Oscar ahead of the 2026 Academy Awards, the organizers said Tuesday, marking a career first for the Hollywood veteran. Cruise was selected to receive a statuette for his contributions to cinema, along with choreographer Debbie Allen and production designer Wynn Thomas. Dolly Parton will also be awarded the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for her decades-long humanitarian work, with the trophies presented at the Academy's 16th Governors Awards event in November. Cruise, 62, has had four Oscar nominations but has never won the prestigious prize, despite achieving global fame for his roles in action films "Mission: Impossible" and "Top Gun." "Tom Cruise's incredible commitment to our filmmaking community, to the theatrical experience, and to the stunts community has inspired us all," the Academy said in a statement. It praised him as "one of the most recognized and highest-grossing actors of all time" and noted his commitment to performing all of his own stunts. Allen, 75, was recognized for her five-decade career that has included choreographing the Academy Awards ceremony seven times and working on films including 1995 rom-com "Forget Paris." Meanwhile, Thomas was saluted for his production work on titles such as "Malcolm X" and "Do the Right Thing." Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

Egyptian conceptual artist Dina Fahmy El-Rouby opened her solo exhibition, From Nile to Han, at the Egyptian Embassy in Seoul this week, offering a visually rich reflection on the shared threads of Egyptian and Korean heritage. The show, staged as part of the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Egypt and South Korea, brings together more than 45 mixed-media works. El-Rouby blends symbolism, calligraphy, and traditional motifs from both cultures — from ancient scripts to architectural forms — creating layered compositions that explore identity, continuity, and cultural memory. Several pieces are augmented with interactive digital elements, inviting visitors to scan the works and uncover animated overlays or embedded narratives. The opening drew a wide range of guests, including Korean artists, gallerists, diplomats, and members of the Egyptian community. Among the attendees were ambassadors from Mexico, Singapore, Pakistan, Russia, the Czech Republic, Belarus, and officials from the United States, Azerbaijan, and Tanzania. Jin Cho, deputy director-general for the Middle East and Africa at South Korea's foreign ministry, formally inaugurated the exhibition. Egypt's Ambassador to Korea Khaled Abdel-Rahman honors artist Dina El-Rouby at her exhibition opening in Seoul 'Art is the universal language that connects us all, transcending borders, time, and differences,' El-Rouby said at the opening. 'Through this exhibition, I aim to honor the shared humanity that binds Egyptian and Korean cultures together.' From Nile to Han is one of several cultural initiatives led by Egypt's ambassador to Seoul, Khaled Abdel-Rahman, marking three decades of diplomatic ties. El-Rouby is best known for fusing the visual legacy of ancient Egypt with contemporary conceptual art. Her work has been exhibited internationally, with recent shows in Paris, London, Berlin, Madrid, Prague, Dubai, and Athens. This is El-Rouby's first solo exhibition in South Korea.
