The score by Justin Hurwitz, a double-Oscar-winner for “La La Land,” was also recognized. “RRR” turns the speculative partnership of two of India’s most important revolutionaries into a three-hour, action-musical spectacular — and in doing so became one of the biggest global hits of the year. In looking at how well “Babylon” performed — it’s the third-leading vote-getter with five, tied with “The Fabelmans” (behind “The Banshees of Inisherin’s” eight, and “Everything Everywhere All at Once’s” six) — we must look to ancient Globes history.

But the funnyman will have to sit out yet another Globes, where he was last nominated nearly two decades ago for "Punch-Drunk Love." But even with a best picture nod from the Globes for "Top Gun," Cruise was curiously passed over for best actor.

If there is a performer who steals the limelight in action scenes these days and, incidentally, does it without the help of a stuntman, it is Tom Cruise.

And the world fell in love with you — and you went on this ride of the Golden Globes and the Oscars, and you were … I was like, “I need to call Tom.” And Tom was so all about it. So our first conversation, I said, “No matter what happens, we have to be able to look each other in the eyes and understand what’s real and what’s not real.” Hudson: He’s also like, “Look, it’s not going to come out if it’s not great.” And “Top Gun,” if that wasn’t great, then that would’ve been terrible. I watched that movie and I was like, “I think we did it. And he would text me at night about a scene that I was shooting the next day. I was in New York and I went to Union Square to see it on the big screen with an audience. And in a movie like this, where you know there’s going to be a lot of eyes on it, you don’t want to be Draco Malfoy. Tom called it out — he Babe Ruthed it.” He was like, “This movie’s good enough where we have to just wait for this pandemic to be over.” But you know how it is.
