Tom Cruise accept his MTV Movie Award Credits: MTV and PopCulture
Tom Cruise’s MTV Awards speech set new standards. The actor, 60, received the best performance in a movie for the popular sequel Top Gun: Maverick last year during the 2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards broadcast on Sunday night.
The cruise was shown inside a fighter jet flying high in the sky wearing sunglasses and speaking into a headset in a tape thanking vssssss for the fan-voted honor. He was traveling aboard the aircraft with his golden popcorn prize.
He said, “Thank you so much for this honor. I produce these flicks for you. I cherish you. I enjoy amusing you. There is simply no finer feeling than to realize how much you value something.” He continued by promoting his next action movie Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, which hits theatres on July 12. He described it as a “wild ride.”
“You have a lovely summer”, Cruise continued. “Once more, I appreciate you letting me amuse you. It’s an unquestionable honor. We will meet you at the theatre.”
Austin Butler (Elvis), Florence Pugh (Don’t Worry Darling), Keke Palmer (Nope), and Michael B. Jordan (Creed III) were the other candidates in this MTV Movie Award category.
Top Gun: Maverick had the most nominations for movies this year going into the ceremony, while Stranger Things and The Last of Us had the most nominations for scripted television, each with six.
Drew Barrymore, the host, abruptly quit her position on Thursday in support of the current Hollywood writer’s strike, forcing a change in the awards show’s original live format. While the show was airing, Barrymore, who had pledged to host it again in 2024, continued to make appearances in previously taped routines.
The winners of the evening, including Pedro Pascal, Jennifer Coolidge, the Vanderpump Rules cast, and others, accepted their prizes in pre-recorded speeches.
