Brad Pitt gets an Oscar nomination for his performance in Babylon and it irks Tom Cruise for a reason. Read on to know more!
Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, two of Hollywood’s most renowned stars, do not get along for a variety of reasons. Even though Top Gun: Maverick garnered a lot of praise, Brad Pitt’s Babylon received an Oscar nomination at the Golden Globes, beating out Tom Cruise’s film. According to rumors and sources, Tom is currently very dissatisfied with the Oscar nominations. For more details, continue reading further.
According to an insider, Tom was confident that his performance in Top Gun: Maverick, which grossed an astounding $100 million in 2022, would earn him both an Oscar nomination and an actual trophy. Brad’s Babylon, on the other hand, has received quite a few negative backlashes.
As reported by Radar Online, a close source revealed that Tom Cruise was expecting to get the Oscar nomination for Top Gun: Maverick. The insider said, “Tom expected to walk away with the award for best actor, so you can imagine his reaction when he wasn’t even on the list — he totally blew a fuse! This was the first time in years that Tom was so sure he had a slam-dunk win he was fine-tuning his acceptance speech.”
The Golden Globes award has been one of the most prestigious award ceremonies that gave recognition to many movies and actors but also has exploded into a lot of controversies. Previously, Tom Cruise had rejected three Golden Globe awards to make a point and take a stand for not showing enough diversity.
The insider even mentioned that the real reason for Tom Cruise getting snubbed has been Brad Pitt’s dirty politics. The source shared, “A lot of people are convinced that’s the real reason he was snubbed. 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.”
