With Top Gun: Maverick set to compete for the 95th Academy Awards, it’s worth wondering about its A-list star.
Tom Cruise has been a fixture in Hollywood since the the ’80s, appearing in such beloved films as the Mission: Impossible series, Risky Business, Days of Thunder, A Few Good Men, Rain Man, Minority Report and plenty more.
With Cruise nominated as a producer in the Best Picture race with Top Gun: Maverick, would he win his first Oscar if the film won the evening’s top prize?
Cruise has been nominated four times for various categories, but he’s never outright won a category.
He was nominated for Best Actor for acclaimed films like Born on the Fourth of July and Jerry Maguire, and he was nominated in Best Supporting Actor for the film Magnolia.
His producing nomination for the blockbuster Top Gun sequel would be his first Oscar win if the film indeed took home the Best Picture honor.
