It remains a puzzle of what could be the reasons why the prestigious award continues to evade Cruise. The actor has a lot of movies under his belt, and he’s quite the most dedicated actor out there as evident in his willingness to perform his own stunts.
Léa Seydoux Campaigns For Tom Cruise To Win An Oscar
In an interview with Konbini, actress Léa Seydoux professed her admiration for Tom Cruise and his filmography. She expressed dismay at the thought that the actor still hasn’t gotten his own Oscar statuette.
I’m a big Tom Cruise fan. To do something as subtle as “Eyes Wide Shut” and to also make an action film like this one, it’s mind-blowing. He’s a major actor. It’s very strange to me that he has never won an Oscar.
The French star believes that Cruise is “the biggest star in the world” and that “there’s more of a mystery to him” than actors like Brad Pitt, a fellow Hollywood A-lister. The Bond girl even said that No Time to Die actor Daniel Craig is no match for Cruise in a fight.
The 62-year-old actor received four Academy Award nominations. He got two Best Actors nods for 1990’s Born on the Fourth of July and 1997’s Jerry Maguire. He also earned a Best Supporting Actor for 2000’s Magnolia, and a Best Picture nod for 2023’s Top Gun: Maverick, where he served as a producer.

Apart from doing a lot of mainstream movies, people only remember his popular works and not the ones where he collaborated with the likes of Martin Scorsese and Paul Thomas Anderson. The Oscars rarely look into blockbuster franchises.
Aside from his professional work, his personal life is also a factor according to the article. His involvement in Scientology does not really appeal to the Oscar voters. His divorce battles against Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes also proved to be a stain in his career.

In spite of all the controversies in Cruise’s life and career, it does not take away the fact that he’s one of the most devoted actors in Hollywood. Fans believe he deserves to finally have his own Oscar-winning moment. Check out their reactions below:
Cruise’s career remains active, and both Mission: Impossible and Top Gun franchises continue to rake in money. Perhaps he might want to venture into other projects that would explore his range in terms of acting. Who knows? It could be his best shot at getting that Oscar!
