Tom Cruise fans think he should receive honorary Oscar for his stuntwork

Tom Cruise fans believe the Mission: Impossible star should receive an honorary Oscar for his stuntwork.

It comes after the The Academy (Oscars) announced a new award category for stunt design.

The Achievement in Stunt Design award will make its debut at the annual ceremony beginning in 2028, where it will honour stunt work in films from 2027.

Despite that, many fans have already dubbed it the “Tom Cruise Award” and believe he should be honoured for his stuntwork on the Mission: Impossible franchise anyway.

“Tom Cruise should get the first stunt category Oscar as a lifetime achievement award,” one wrote, while another added: “They should give Tom Cruise and the whole Mission: Impossible stunt team an Honorary Oscar for their contributions to stunt community.”

A third fan wrote: “What is wrong with them, why would they not introduce it this year so they can give the first one to Tom Cruise for the last Mission Impossible movie … are they dumb,” while another quipped: “Tom Cruise realising he has to make Mission Impossible 9 now, so he can win a Stunt Oscar.”

Tom Cruise should get the first stunt category Oscar as a lifetime achievement award.
