Tom Cruise has one Oscar, and it is an honorary (non-competitive) Academy Award, not a competitive acting win.

Quick answer

  • Competitive Oscars (wins): 0
  • Oscar nominations: 4 (three for acting, one as producer for Best Picture)
  • Honorary Oscar statuettes he owns: 1, received as an Academy Honorary Award at the Governors Awards in 2025.

So if someone asks “how many Oscars does Tom Cruise have?” the precise, up‑to‑date answer is:

  • He has one Oscar statuette , an honorary Academy Award.
  • He has never won a competitive Oscar category, despite multiple nominations.

Mini breakdown

  • Through a career spanning over four decades, Cruise has been nominated for:
    • Best Actor for Born on the Fourth of July and Jerry Maguire
    • Best Supporting Actor for Magnolia
    • As a producer, for Best Picture for Top Gun: Maverick
  • In 2025, the Academy finally honored his impact on cinema with an Academy Honorary Award , which counts as his first and only Oscar.

In fan and forum discussions, you will often see people clarify that he has “0 competitive Oscars but 1 honorary Oscar,” which matches the official awards record as of early 2026.

TL;DR: Tom Cruise owns one Oscar , an honorary Academy Award, and still has zero competitive Oscar wins despite four nominations.
