Tom Cruise has returned his three Golden Globes statues amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
Cruise won the best actor honor in 1990 for Born on the Fourth of July and in 1997 for Jerry Maguire, as well as a best supporting actor award in 2000 for Magnolia.
Earlier today, NBC announced that it would not be airing the 2022 iteration of the Golden Globes. Said the network in a statement: “We continue to believe that the HFPA is committed to meaningful reform. However, change of this magnitude takes time and work, and we feel strongly that the HFPA needs time to do it right.”
The backlash began after an L.A. Times report detailing that the organization counted zero Black journalists among its then-87 members. Last week, the HFPA’s membership voted to approve a proposal of reforms aimed at addressing its lack of diversity and other ethics issues, but many in Hollywood, including Time’s Up and a coalition of PR Firms, noted that the reforms do not go far enough.

“Has he done anything worthy of note since “Risky Business”?”
Some movie named Top Gun in the mid 80’s. I heard it bombed. Never did see it.
Hmmm...
Never, ever watched or read anything related to Golden Globe stuff...
Use to love stuff related to Golden Gloves stuff...
I guess the wokettes will now attack the NFL and NBA for systemic blackness and demand proper proportional representation for Caucasians & Asians...
THE LONELY LADY?
Did he offer to return all the money he has made doing all these racist things with all these racist,people?
This organization has no Black members, what about any other races, or creeds?
That is the scandal. Worse things going on than that.
It doesn’t make any sense. NBC may just see that these award shows are becoming big losers in ratings and it’s a good time to get out.
Tom Hanks and Harrison Ford come to mind right away...
He was very good in “Magnolia”, and he is good in all the action-adventure movies he does. He mostly plays himself like most actors do, e.g. Robert DeNiro, etc. (Yes I put DeNiro in the same category as Tom Cruise.)
Golden, even!
He was perfect in "Magnolia" and "Tropic Thunder".
Is Tom Cruz Ted Cruz’s wayward leftist brother?
Bending over is most likely the reason he is still famous.
“Did he offer to return all the money he has made doing all these racist things with all these racist,people?”
At least one of his adopted kids with his first wife, Nicole Kidman, is Black.
You really think his homosexual tendencies are “latent?”
They’re both definitely close, maybe ahead.
Cruise has been money since Taps.
There’s a reason he’s worth 570 million...
Looks like Tom is 11th all time. Marvel has really skewed the field...
Why not auction them off for money to support great causes like bailing out ANTIFA or BLM rioters?
I disagree with that list. Sam Jackson isn’t the star in a bunch of those movies. He’s just in them. I don’t consider being the computer guy in Jurassic Park as starring.
If you read the criteria, you have to be listed as a leading actor. Yes I agree with you and why I stated that Marvel has heavily skewed the numbers.
I know Harrison Ford was the top grossing star for the 20th Century because of the Star Wars Trilogy and the Indiana Jones series.
He was good in Witness, The Fugitive, Air Force One, both Blade Runners, Clear and Present Danger, and Patriot Games.
