Ahead of the Oscar nominations announcement on Tuesday (January 24), Jennifer Connelly admitted that she expects her 'Top Gun: Maverick' co-star Tom Cruise to get a nomination in the 'best actor category' for his performance in the film.

Speaking to the US-based magazine Variety, the actress said, “He’s extraordinary. He does an amazing job in the movie. He’s extraordinary as a person and fantastic as an actor. He embodies that character so beautifully, and I think he absolutely deserves it.”

"Think of the things that he did for that role. Besides all the stuff on the ground and how wonderful he is in those scenes and creating those relationships…I think the relationship he has with Miles’ character is so beautiful and moving. But the work that he did to accomplish those flying sequences, it’s something else.” she added.
