Tom Cruise is one of the world’s biggest movie stars and that was proven yet again in 2022 when he starred in one of the biggest movies of the year, or any year, with Top Gun: Maverick.
Jimmy Kimmel will certainly poke fun at many in the industry on Oscar night, but it sounds like Tom Cruise will get a pass.
It’s been said by no less than Steven Spielberg that Top Gun: Maverick saved theatrical distribution.
Even if Spielberg is overselling Maverick’s importance, Kimmel is right that the movie was a significant aid to Hollywood.
