"The Academy's Board of Governors is honored to recognize these brilliant artists."
As for what led to Cruise's recognition, Yang cited his "incredible commitment to our filmmaking community, to the theatrical experience, and to the stunts community [that] has inspired us all."
Yang said Parton "exemplifies the spirit of the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award through her unwavering dedication to charitable efforts."
Allen is being recognized for her long career as "a trailblazing choreographer and actor, whose work has captivated generations and crossed genres," Yang said.
Thomas, she added, "has brought some of the most enduring films to life through a visionary eye and mastery of his craft."
