βStill canβt face her?β
Tom Cruise skips the Oscars, but the real reason? Heβs avoiding ex-wife Nicole Kidman! In 2001, after almost 10 years together, Cruise and Kidmanβs family split up. Is their past still too much for him to
handle?

Despite Tom Cruiseβs long career in acting, he still hasnβt won the highly desired Oscar.
We believe he will eventually get one, even if itβs just in recognition of his many years of work.
However, itβs possible that the Academy may continue to overlook him, much like Tom chose to skip the recent ceremony where his movie Top Gun: Maverick was nominated in six categories-and even won one.
At first, insiders said Tom couldnβt attend due to scheduling conflicts, as heβs currently busy filming in a remote location.
But many online fans didnβt buy this explanation. After all, the chance to win your first Oscar doesnβt come around very often, and it seems like a short break from filming would have been possible.
Adding to the speculation, Tom was seen at the nomineesβ luncheon the day before. When fans noticed Kidman on the red carpet, they started to believe that his absence had something to do with her.
Kidman looked stunning in a form-fitting black dress with large fabric flowers. The shimmering gown with a thigh-high slit highlighted all of her best features.
Even her husband, Keith Urban, who was by her side at the Oscars, couldnβt take his eyes off her on the red carpet.
Sources told the Daily Mail: βTom didnβt want any uncomfortable run-ins with Nicole. Thatβs why he stayed away from the event.β
If this were about someone else, we might doubt it, but Cruise is known for being a bit difficult. So it wouldnβt be surprising if this was the real reason.
As a reminder, Nicole and Tom were once considered one of Hollywoodβs most beautiful couples. They married in 1990 and adopted two children.
Their marriage ended in 2001, and rumors suggest the split happened because Kidman refused to join Scientology.
