Tom Cruise, 60, is up for one award at the upcoming 2023 Golden Globe Awards, as a producer for Top Gun: Maverick. But Tom was snubbed in the acting category and fans think it’s because of his reaction to the controversy involving the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. If you remember, Tom returned all of his Golden Globe trophies back in 2021, after it was revealed that the HFPA — who are a group of international journalists who vote on the Golden Globes — had no Black members. The Golden Globes were cancelled in 2022 but they’re returning to NBC on January 10, and Tom is one of the biggest names that is nominated.
Tom can add to his growing tally of Golden Globes at the 2023 ceremony. But will he keep the award, if he wins, or will he return it like he did with his past trophies? Either way, Tom’s enjoyed great success at the Golden Globes in his career, and we’ve got a full rundown of his total nominations and wins so far.
His 3 Golden Globes
