Academy Awards
Tom Cruise And Steven Spielberg At Oscar Nominee Luncheon, Watch Host Jimmy Kimmel’s “TOP GUN: MAVERICK” 95th Oscars Promo And Oscar Week Events Will Be Hosted At Academy Museum
By Michelle Hannett and Melissa Thompson
Nominees for the 95th Oscars were celebrated at a luncheon held at the Beverly Hilton, Monday, February 13, 2023.
Academy Governor DeVon Franklin made the roll call to all the 182 nominees to go on stage for the annual Class Photo.
Producers Tom Cruise, Christopher McQuarrie, David Ellison and Jerry Bruckheimer attended to celebrate their Best Picture nominee for TOP GUN: MAVERICK. The film received a total of six nominations at the 95th Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Song, Best Sound, Best Film Editing, and Best Visual Effects.
But it was megastar Cruise, the last of the true Hollywood movie stars, who commanded the day.
As Variety’s Oscars expert Clayton Davis previously reported, Cruise was the big hit of the nominees Luncheon. Spielberg was hardly the only nominee who fawned over the “Maverick” star. Brendan Gleeson, Paul Mescal, Baz Luhrmann, Michelle Yeoh, Austin Butler and more all made sure to approach Cruise during the event and take photos.
MAVERICK marks Tom Cruise’s highest-grossing movie ever and is the biggest global success in the 110-year studio history of Paramount Pictures.
Davis also reported “nominated for six Oscars including best picture, is a viable threat to take home the gold.” Check out what Spielberg tells Cruise about his film.
That quote alone is why it should win! “YOU SAVED HOLLYWOOD’S ASS!” And from Spielberg? That ain’t no bullshit!
Earlier this month it was announced that Tom Cruise will be honored with the 2023 David O. Selznick Achievement Award at the 34th Annual Producers Guild Awards on Saturday, February 25, 2023 at The Beverly Hilton. Producers Guild Presidents Donald De Line and Stephanie Allain said, “His commitment to telling bold, cinematic, and entertaining stories has elevated the global theatrical experience and has resulted in some of the most popular motion pictures in history. We are thrilled to honor him with the David O. Selznick Award for his excellence in producing.”
Here’s a look at the star-studded Monday afternoon as well as the new Oscars promo with host Jimmy Kimmel.
The 95th Oscars will be held on Sunday, March 12, 2023, at the Dolby® Theatre at Ovation Hollywood and will be televised live on ABC and in more than 200 territories worldwide.
