Tom Cruise skips Oscars, but Lady Gaga will perform 'Top Gun: Maverick' song
foxnews.comTom Cruise is missing from Oscars night due to his work schedule. "Top Gun: Maverick" is nominated for six awards but Cruise, 60, won't be there to accept any if the film wins, as he's back in the United Kingdom filming "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part II," Fox News Digital can confirm.
The film has been nominated for best picture, writing, film editing, sound, music and visual effects and was featured heavily in the award ceremony's opening movie montage.
The actor's co-stars appeared on the red carpet ahead of the award show and also confirmed his absence. "He's off doing TC things that make TC, TC," Charles Parnell told Entertainment Tonight. "Working while other people are playing, stunting while other people are sleeping and saving the movie industry while people are fretting." While Cruise is away filming, Lady Gaga has decided to attend the Oscars, which heavily featured "Top Gun: Maverick" in the show's opening number.
Producers said just days before that Gaga’s schedule on the "Joker" sequel would keep her from performing, but apparently a change after their remarks allowed the performance’s addition to the show.
