This year&#8217;s awards were supposed to be live and in person with Drew Barrymore as host, but producers had to make a last-minute change due to the ongoing Hollywood writer&#8217;s strike.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maverick&#8221; grossed more than $1.4 billion at the global box office and more than $690 million domestically after three months in theaters, making it one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/study-women-represent-a-third-of-onscreen-population-in-film\/\" title=\"Study: Women Represent a Third of Onscreen Population in Film\">highest-grossing movies<\/a> of all time, Variety reported.<\/p>\n<p>Cruise filmed a special thank you for fans and jumped out of a helicopter over South Africa in December 2022. While audience scores for the film remained high, critics were less favorable in their reviews. The movie was nominated for three Academy Awards but only won Best Sound in what was considered a major snub by the industry. Cruise did not attend the Oscars ceremony in March.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t miss out on the latest entertainment news. <strong>Click here to get the Daily Wire app.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tom Cruise was very on-brand while accepting his 2023 MTV Movies &amp; TV Award Sunday night.
