Petty Hollywood

It is a shame that Tom Cruise’s outstanding performance in “Top Gun Maverick” has been overlooked by the Hollywood Foreign Press in their nomination for the Golden Globe awards. Despite receiving critical acclaim for his role, Cruise was not nominated for the Best Actor award.

The reason for this snub is clear: Cruise had previously returned all three of his Golden Globe awards as a protest against the lack of diversity in the awards. Instead of taking this as an opportunity for introspection, the Hollywood Foreign Press has chosen to take it as a personal affront and has retaliated by snubbing Cruise’s performance.

Furthermore, during the actual ceremony, the press made a joke about Scientology at Cruise’s expense through a black comedian, which is quite ironic. It is clear that Cruise was not only advocating for diversity in the awards, but also for respect and understanding towards different beliefs and practices.

It is unfortunate that the Hollywood Foreign Press has chosen to take such a petty and disrespectful approach towards Cruise’s valid concerns. It is a clear indication that they are not willing to listen to or acknowledge the voices of those who want to bring about positive change in the industry

Andrew Klavan, a writer, is correct in saying that Tom Cruise is bigger than the Golden Globe awards and does not need them to validate his talent. Cruise has had a long and successful career in Hollywood, with a string of box office hits to his name. His films have grossed billions of dollars worldwide, and he has become one of the most recognizable and respected actors in the industry.

Cruise’s contributions to the film industry are undeniable, and his impact on the entertainment business is immense. He has been a major player in Hollywood for over three decades, and his films have consistently been among the highest-grossing of the year.

It is clear that if the Golden Globe awards were to vanish tomorrow, they would not be greatly missed. However, if something were to happen to Tom Cruise, the entire industry would feel the loss. His talent, dedication and contributions to the industry are invaluable and his legacy will be long remembered.
