"Top Gun: Maverick" was one of the biggest box office hits in years, and that success with fans was matched with more than a few awards. But one conspicuously absent nomination was a Best Actor Oscar nom for Tom Cruise. Many believed Cruise deserved the recognition, including Miles Teller. But Teller has an idea why the actor may have been overlooked. <br /><br />Speaking with the Associated Press, Teller makes it clear that he firmly believes Cruise should have received an Oscar nomination. The actor, who played Rooster in "Top Gun: Maverick," says that awards are often given to actors who show that they have put in a lot of work to achieve a certain skill, and Cruise has absolutely done that.
