Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Ariana Grande, Sydney Sweeney and other 2026 Academy Awards hopefuls walked the black carpet at the Governors Awards, where Tom Cruise, Debbie Allen, Dolly Parton and Wynn Thomas received honorary Oscars.

At the event, the Academy also presented honorary awards to actor Tom Cruise, choreographer Debbie Allen and production designer Wynn Thomas.

Leonardo DiCaprio previously received Palm Springs film awards with the casts of "Killers of the Flower Moon" and "Revolutionary Road."

"Train Dreams" is the kind of movie that people often say they want more of, but when one actually comes along they don't quite know what to do with it. Told with an unassuming, gentle simplicity that grows into an accumulating emotional power, the film manages to feel very small and specific while also vast and expansive.

NBC News obtained a copy of an email the academy sent members that provided guidance on what steps they need to take ahead of the final voting deadline.

The Academy's annual Governors Awards were attended by the likes of Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Lucy Liu, Jeremy Strong and many others.
