Tom Cruise's fans will never forget how, despite being Hollywood royalty, the actor's coronation by the Academy is just a behind-the-scenes moment.

Tom Cruise has never won an Oscar even with all these movie roles

Ah, it's Hollywood – where the big screen becomes a pinnacle of dreams and the Academy Awards are the golden standard of excellence. But it's actually sad when Tom Cruise's fans clamor for the actor to flex his dramatic chops more often, but they can't help but remember how the Oscars passed him by to grace Michael Caine with the statuette of honor.

Cruise, a powerhouse with four Oscar nominations under his belt, for stellar roles in Born on the Fourth of July, Jerry Maguire, Magnolia and the box office hit Top Gun: Maverick, has yet to receive an Oscar.

As blockbusters and critical darlings rock through his filmography, it's quite an Oscar story to tell—of nominations without the climax. And most notably, Cruise's star turn in Magnolia lost out in a twist of Oscar fate to Michael Caine's performance in The Cider House Rules.
