Bad news for Tom Cruise fans. The 60-year-old actor will not attend the biggest night in cinema, and he will do so for a compelling reason. The United States Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) celebrates the 95th edition of the popular Oscars this Sunday night – early in the morning in Spain – which will take place at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, in Los Angeles ( California). The Mission Impossible actor was expected to attend as his film Top Gun: Maverick is competing for ‘Best Picture.’ Ultimately it won’t be like that.
Tom will be absent, however, for a compelling reason. As reported by ET, the actor will not attend the Oscars, since he is currently in the United Kingdom filming the new installment of Mission Impossible in the United Kingdom. If the film wins the biggest award of the night, for ‘Best Picture’, producer Jerry Bruckheimer will accept the award, as collected by the Daily Mail. However, everything indicates that it could be All at once everywhere production take the prize.
The film starring Tom Cruise is nominated for ‘Best Picture’ along with great titles like Elvis, Avatar: The Sense of Water, All Quiet Front and The Fabelmans, among others. While Cruise missed out on the ‘Best Actor’ nomination, the ‘Best Picture’ nomination could bring him his first Academy Award. The film is also nominated for ‘Best Adapted Screenplay’, ‘Best Editing’, ‘Best Sound’, ‘Best Original Song’ and ‘Best Special Effects’.
Yes, the singer Lady Gaga will finally attend, who will interpret her song Hold My Hand, nominated for ‘Best Original Song’, since it is from the film’s soundtrack. It should be remembered that the Born this way interpreter already won this award in 2019, for Shallow, the soundtrack of A Star Is Born. In this category, Lady Gaga’s song competes against a great competitor: Rihanna’s Lift Me Up, as the soundtrack to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. A song that has created great expectation as it signifies the return of ‘Riri’ to music seven years after the publication of her last album, Anti.
The event dedicated to the seventh art is one of the most anticipated of the year, and will feature presenter and comedian Jimmy Kimmel, known for his ABC program Jimmy Kimmel Live!, as master of ceremonies. Among the great promises of the night we find Everything at once everywhere, by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, who competes for eleven golden statuettes, becoming the great favourite.
