But Cruise is probably one of the most influential people in Hollywood (if not the world) and I doubt he’s losing too much sleep over his “losses.” Truthfully when Cruise wants something done, movie wise, he gets it done.

Though he’s been nominated a trio of times ( Born on the Fourth of July, Jerry Maguire and Magnolia) he’s yet to walk away with the statue. One thing that has eluded Cruise is an Academy Award. Looking at some of Hollywood’s other legends, Cruise is right up there with the best of them: Spencer Tracy, John Wayne, Paul Newman and Jack Nicholson to name a few – Cruise holds his own with the best of them. Regardless of your views regarding Scientology, you’ve got to admit that the guy is, literally, the epitome of a movie star. When you think about it, it really is amazing the career that Tom Cruise has had and, most likely, will continue to have.
