So this is going to sound weird... but is Tom Cruise one of the best actors that has never won an Oscar?
He may be a whack job in real life but on screen he has done, mostly, a fantastic job in just about every movie he's been in.
There have been a few duds and head scratchers but overall - I can name quite a few Cruise movies that were damn good.
Or...
Maybe he just a lucky toolbag... dunno...?
I think he hasn’t won an Oscar because most of his indy/dramatic roles have been the dud for the most part or he was overshadowed by another performance ala Jack Nicholson in a few good men. He is fantastic in his action roles and feel like he has gotten better through the years, but for the most part if your movie makes money your not getting an Oscar, especially for action.
As much of a whack job he is I usually watch most of his stuff and aside from Tom Hanks probably own more of his than others. He has perfected that action role and seems to actually enjoy them.
