Film opinion: Tom Cruise has made an early launch in his 2027 Oscars bid

Legendary Hollywood action hero Tom Cruise received an honorary Oscar last Sunday at the 16th Annual Governors Awards.

A career spent in filmmaking was recognised by the Academy for an “incredible commitment to our film-making community, to the theatrical experience, and to the stunts community".

But Film News Blitz’s Dan Lawrence believes this is the start of a long run-up to an outright Oscar in 2027.
