Hollywood star Tom Cruise got great news as his blockbuster sequel “Top Gun: Maverick” landed six Oscar nominations, including one for best picture.
“Top Gun: Maverick” showed Hollywood that non-woke films lead to big money at the box office.
The pro-America movie was a huge global hit, despite being banned in China for refusing to censor the film.
While Tom Cruise didn’t get a nomination for best actor, he will be in the running for an Oscar as a producer if the film wins best picture.
It is up against some tough competition like “Avatar: The Way of Water,” “The Banshees of Inisherin,” and Steven Speilberg’s semi-autobiographical film “The Fabelmans.”
