Blockbuster: Tom Cruise is snubbed by the Golden Globes “Top Gun” After He Protested Org’s Lack of Diversity
Tom Cruise was conspicuously absent from the best actor drama category in this year’s Golden Globes nominations for his performance in the blockbuster smash Maverick is the Top Gun. Now a new report is claiming the snub is a direct result of the star’s recent decision to protest the Globes’ lack of diversity by returning the three statuettes he won in the past.
Cruise won the Golden Globes last year and returned them. Jerry Maguire was born July 4, 1973.And Magnolia The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which organizes the annual awards ceremony. His actions were in response to the HFPA’s diversity “scandal” that saw the cancellation of the annual NBC telecast last year over the HFPA’s lack of black voters.
Sources told Radar Online that Cruise’s protest didn’t ingratiate him with HFPA members.
“He took a stand and no doubt it didn’t go over well with them,” One unnamed source informed the outlet. “A lot of people are convinced that’s the real reason he was snubbed.”
Radar reported that Cruise was so sure he would win the nomination for his performance, he even prepared an acceptance speech.
But his speech may not go unheard. Producer of the Top Gun sequel, Cruise has been nominated in best picture drama.
Radar also stated that Cruise is to blame for Radar’s death Interview with the Vampire co-star Brad Pitt for his Golden Globes snub.
“It stinks that Brad, once again, seems to have milked his relationship with the foreign journalists at the Globes to get his own movie — which many consider way inferior to Top Gun — a ton of nods,” Another source unnamed said that the source was referring to the box office failure Babylon. “As far as Tom’s concerned, this snub is all Brad’s fault!”
Maverick is the Top Gun This movie is gaining significant Oscar momentum as it heads into Hollywood awards season. Paramount’s Paramount release is still the highest grossing movie this year. The Way of Water Avatar It is likely to surpass it eventually.
Following last year’s diversity “scandal,” The Golden Globes announced that they would diversify the voting body and membership. The HFPA has recently declared that its voting structure is now majority female, and of ethnic minorities.
