Tom Cruise’s Face at BAFTAs Prompts Rampant Twitter Reaction, Speculation

Tom Cruise hit the red carpet at the 2016 BAFTA Film Awards in London this past weekend, and Twitter went wild over the actor’s face.

The Jack Reacher star, 53, looked dapper in a tux, complete with a bow tie, as he posed with The Revenant actor Leonardo DiCaprio . But viewers were more focused on his complexion and seemingly frozen features. Some people on Twitter described his face as “stretched,” “exfoliated” and “pinched.” Others insinuated that the actor had received Botox injections.

Even Scottish politician Ruth Davidson weighed in on Cruise’s countenance.

Cruise’s Jerry Maguire costar Cuba Gooding, Jr. recently hinted that the actor had work done on his face. “I don’t know what he’s had done, but I surprised him at his house one day, and he had all these little red dots over his face,” Gooding said on Watch What Happens Live in early February. “And I said, ‘You all right?’ and he said, ‘I didn’t know you were coming.’ And I was like, ‘I can see why!'”

‘The Revenant,’ Leonardo DiCaprio Dominate BAFTA Awards

Alejandro G. Inarritu’s “ The Revenant ” came up trumps at the 69 th British Academy Film Awards on Sunday night, nabbing five prizes including best film, director and leading actor.

George Miller’s “Mad Max: Fury Road” left the field with four BAFTAs – all in the more technical fields – including costume design, production design, make up and hair and editing.

“The Martian,” “The Danish Girl,” “Carol” and “Ex-Machina” all left empty-handed this year.

This year’s ceremony was a marked change for Inarritu compared to last year’s awards: in 2015, his pic “Birdman,” was up for 10 nominations but only came away with one win for best cinematography, given to Emmanuel Lubezki .

The glitterati were in full force at London’s Royal Opera House on Valentine’s Day:  Tom Cruise awarded “The Revenant” with the best film prize while Leonardo DiCaprio ’s win for best actor in the film was met with a resounding cheer in the audience. It marked the thesp’s first BAFTA win after four noms (he was previously nominated for work on Martin Scorsese pics “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “The Departed” and “The Aviator”).

DiCaprio personally thanked co-star Tom Hardy for his “fierce loyalty not only as a collaborator but as a friend. I could not have done this journey without you.” He also thanked his mother in a moving speech, crediting her for supporting his acting career from the beginning.

Popular on Variety

Helmer Inarritu won best director, after being nominated in the category three times (he was previously nominated for “Birdman” and “Babel”).

Lubezki nabbed the best cinematography award again for his work on “The Revenant,” a win that was widely predicted amongst the biz. This marks his fourth BAFTA win (in addition to “Birdman,” he also nabbed statuettes for “Gravity” and “Children of Men”). The pic also picked up best sound, for Lon Bender, Chris Duesterdiek, Martin Hernandez, Frank A. Montano, Jon Taylor, Randy Thom.

Brie Larson snatched up best actress for her role in “Room.” The thesp was not there to pick up the award, due to filming commitments in Australia, but helmer Lenny Abrahamson was on hand to accept the prize on her behalf and described the actress, who is also nominated for an Oscar this year, as “one of the best actors of her generation.”

Mark Rylance picked up best supporting actor for “Bridge of Spies,” his first win and first BAFTA film nomination. Rylance also wasn’t in London to collect the awards, as he is currently preforming on Broadway, but helmer Steven Spielberg collected the award for the actor.

Kate Winslet won her third BAFTA this year for Best Supporting Actress for “Steve Jobs.” Amongst the list of people she thanked, she credited co-star Michael Fassbender for his role in the film. “You led us through this,” she said. “I don’t know how you did this. I could watch you every day and be completely blown away.”

Outstanding British Film, the first award of the evening went to “ Brooklyn ,” directed by John Crowley. The 1950s Irish immigrant tale stars Saorise Ronan.

“The Big Short” was awarded best adapted screenplay for scribes Adam McKay, Charles Randolph, its only award of the evening.

“Spotlight” picked up one award for best original screenplay, for Tom McCarthy and Josh Singer. McCarthy took to the stage and thanked “the courageous survivors who came forward and shared their stories with us.”

Best animation went to Disney/Pixar toon “Inside Out” and helmer Pete Docter accepted the award and called on young people in secondary school who were struggling and trying to figure things out to “express themselves.” He said: “Sing, write, draw. The world will be a better place for it.”

George Miller received a lot of love on stage on Sunday evening as his pic “Mad Max: Fury Road,” picked up four statues for costume design (Jenny Beavan), makeup and hair (Lesley Vanderwalt, Damian Martin), editing (Margaret Sixel) and production design (Colin Gibson, Lisa Thompson).

Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer went to Jordanian pic “Theeb,” directed by Naji Abu Nowar, beating out the more well-known “Ex Machina,” helmed by Alex Garland. “Theeb” is up for an Oscar for best foreign language film.

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” snapped up best special visual effects for Chris Corbould, Roger Guyett, Paul Kavanagh and Neal Scanlan while the EE Rising Star BAFTA award, the only award voted for by the public, went to “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and “Attack the Block” Brit star John Boyega, who remarked he wanted to “share this award with all the young dreamers.” The thesp beat out Brie Larson, Dakota Johnson, Taron Egerton and Bel Powley for the award.

Sidney Poitier, the first African-American to receive a best actor Oscar for his role in 1963’s “Lilies of the Field,” was honored with a BAFTA Fellowship, the highest accolade, for his outstanding and exceptional contribution to the business. The Bahamas-born thesp, who has been nominated for six BAFTAs in his career (compared to two Academy Award nominations), nabbing one win in 1959 for “Edge of the City,” was unable to attend the ceremony to pick up his award due to “ill health.”

But he thanked BAFTA for the award saying “I’m sorry I’m unable to be there for you in London for this special occasion but I hold a very special place in my heart for your great city” and added “thank you for your warm embrace.”

“Sidney Poitier is the greatest example of what it means to live your life with integrity, power and grace. I just love this man,” said Oprah Winfrey in a video message. “He became a symbol of what was possible for an African-American in the United States.”

Alan Rickman, Omar Sharif, David Bowie, Wes Craven, Sir Christopher Lee and composer James Horner were remembered in a moving in memoriam reel during the ceremony.

Renowned costume supplier Angels Costumes was lauded with the Outstanding British Contribution to cinema, which was presented by Cate Blanchett.

And Best short film went to “Operator,” a pic funded by Kickstarter and helmed by Caroline Bartleet while best short animation went to “Edmond.”

Baftas 2016: 10 things we learned

The carpet has rolled on another ceremony, in which The Revenant took the top prizes and Carol was snubbed . But what were the evening’s real stories? Who does DiCaprio love? What has happened to Tom Cruise? And most importantly: who has nicked Julie Walters’s jewellery?

Criticise Stephen Fry’s zingers at your peril

Stephen Fry has carved out his place as a popular Baftas host – at least for those at Bafta, as he’s now been doing it for 15 years. His one-liners have magically managed to avoid offence, which also makes him well-liked by the celebrity attendees. But this year, one particular lol turned into more of an omfg on Twitter .

After costume designer Jenny Beavan accepted her award for Mad Max: Fury Road, Fry compared her outfit to that of a “bag lady” causing much anger on social media. But Fry hit back, referring to those who criticised him as “sanctimonious fuckers” who should “fuck the fuck off”. On the plus side, it’s the closest thing we had to drama this year. On Monday morning, he appeared to have deleted his account.

Julie Walters is queen of the clips

This article includes content hosted on videodetective.com. We ask for your permission before anything is loaded, as the provider may be using cookies and other technologies. To view this content, click 'Allow and continue' .

For her “female giddiness” outburst playing the cantankerous landlady Mrs Kehoe in Brooklyn. So rarely do clips deliver — briefly and in essence — the nature of a performance. Clips tend to cut people off midflow, leaving you baffled. But this clip gives you the microcosm.

It’s just long enough to be satisfying and amusing. It lets Walters shine; it showcases that tasty Irish accent, it lets her play off the younger actors but utterly upstages them and then she gets to finish the clip herself by banging the table. Enough! That clip has played every talk show and award show. It is pure clip perfection.

Bafta’s attempts to go viral = kiss of death

The @BAFTA award for Best Kiss is awarded to Dame Maggie Smith and Leonardo DiCaprio. 💋 #BAFTAs pic.twitter.com/vxTvG9AlXw — BBC One (@BBCOne) February 14, 2016

In recent years, the Oscars have tried to create more and more viral moments, in line with the tireless talk show tradition of clinically engineering easily shared rofls on a daily basis. This year, the Baftas tried to do their own with a rather bizarre take on the US sports tradition of the “kiss cam” as Fry tried to get various celebrity pair ups to make out on the big screen.

While Maggie Smith and Leonardo DiCaprio played along, actual real life couple Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander refused to showcase their love and, given the awkwardness that ensued, the moment was culled from the telecast (though a fleeting reference remained). This failed attempt at “doing a viral” now makes Baftas the MySpace of awards ceremonies.

EE equals an EEK: this year’s red carpet was a dead feed

Before the ceremony had even begun, the biggest Bafta fail of the year had already happened – for two whole hair-pulling hours. This year, the idea was to show the red carpet arrivals via a live stream on YouTube. A great idea on paper but on actual tech, a rather horrendous one. The video was mostly unwatchable, cutting out, buffering and annoying pretty much anyone trying to watch, even sometime Bafta red carpet interviewer Edith Bowman .

Anyone else having problems with the @BAFTA live stream? Xx — edith bowman (@edibow) February 14, 2016

The most embarrassing element is that the ceremony’s sponsor is EE, whose 4G brags now seem even more far-fetched. Somewhere online, we hope Kevin Bacon is being personally blamed and ruthlessly trolled for this.

Julie Walters may own a small house

You know it’s a quiet night for controversy when Julie Walters mislaying an earring makes headlines, but then again, this was no ordinary earring. It was a diamond dangler worth “about the same price as my house” – and it is now missing in action. “As I got up on stage,” reported Walters, “I realised one of them was not there.” Walters then reiterated the property comparison saying: “Somebody’s found a bit of it, but even that it probably worth more than my house, so I need to look around.”

Without intimate knowledge of the value of Julie Walters’s house we can’t be sure exactly how much money we’re talking, but we do fear she has likely tipped off whoever might have been about to hand it into lost property they’d be advised not to do so. Plus, although Walters does look considerably paler following the loss, she also looks much more relaxed and gangster.

If it’s 14 February, it must be time to meet the parents

Leo DiCaprio thanked his mum for driving 3 hours every day so he could go to a good school. @schooltruth won’t like that! #EEBAFTAs — Toby Young (@toadmeister) February 14, 2016

From Leonardo DiCaprio’s birthday shoutout to his mum, who he remembers driving him three hours a day out of his rough east LA neighbourhood “to a different school, to show me a different opportunity”, to Alejandro González Iñárritu’s emotional tribute to his dad on the second anniversary of his death, this was a ceremony at which those parental influences loomed large, particularly in The Revenant camp. (This was doubtless a shoot to make you hanker for home.)

Less parental accord was found in the case of Amy, whose best documentary win prompted this from Mitch Winehouse:

Please don't congratulate me on the Amy film winning BAFTA. This is a one dimensional, miserable and misleading portrayal of Amy. Asif knows — mitch winehouse (@mitchwinehouse) February 14, 2016

Forget raft-gate, it does end happily for Jack and Rose

It was a big night for Titanic fans whose last Jack and Rose reunion was the rather un-romantic Revolutionary Road, a film about a couple ripping each other apart and destroying their dreams. Tonight saw both Kate and Leo win awards and their brief moments together were savoured by those who were still sore about that floating door . DiCaprio referred to Winslet as his “homegirl”, the pair “grabbed hands” as she accepted her Bafta and, perhaps most heartbreakingly, she said he didn’t even care about whether Jack could have squeezed onto the floating door or not. Which is a very Frank and April thing to say.

Rebel Wilson wins (or loses) but probably wins

In a night dripping with lukewarm contributions to the diversity debate, Rebel Wilson’s hat-trick of envelope-pushing really made an impact. Item one: Wilson saying “I’ve been practising my transgender face” so she can win future Baftas. Item two (praising Bafta’s drive to increase its mix of voters): “And that’s what we all wanna see in life, isn’t it – diverse members.” And item three, on Idris Elba making her nervous: “I’m sociologically programmed to want chocolate on Valentine’s Day.”

In 20 seconds flat, Wilson had cemented her place as this year’s comedy saviour or foul-mouthed bigot, depending on your point of view.

#TomCruiseSoStraight

Often wheeled out to announce the winner of a major award at various ceremonies, this year Tom Cruise was called upon to reveal what would be named best film. But, despite his experience in this very specific field, his envelope-opening shtick is always disappointingly strait-laced. While virtually every presenter before him had a sometimes clumsily-written skit to perform, Cruise was joyless and alone. On Valentine’s Day too. Most of the Twitter chat was of the Renee Zellweger variety with MSP Ruth Davidson likening him to “a late-90s era Sandi Toksvig” .

And finally … there was good news for white men

While Carol’s best picture omission at the Oscars was seen by some as an out-and-out snub, it entered this year’s Bafta race as a frontrunner, with nine nominations. But by the time Stephen Fry had made his last joke, it emerged with a grand total of zero awards. The night belonged to films fronted by men, from Leonardo DiCaprio’s chilly obstacle course The Revenant to Tom Hardy’s dusty chase thriller Mad Max: Fury Road. Best supporting awards also went to Mark Rylance in Bridge of Spies and Kate Winslet in Steve Jobs, both centred around male characters. #BaftasSoSexist?

Now, he is poised to land his first Primetime Emmy Award nomination, in the category of best actor in a limited or anthology series or TV movie, for arguably the meatiest part he has ever been asked to play on screen, and the one for which he has received the most widespread acclaim: that of Truman Capote on the FX limited series Feud: Capote vs. the Swans .

Over the course of this episode, the 56-year-old reflects on his early start in the business (he was just 14 when he made his screen acting debut); his experiences on art house films like 2005’s Pride and Prejudice and 2009’s In the Loop versus big-studio productions like the 2006 and 2007 installments of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and 2015’s Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation ; how he wound up cast as Capote 20 years after auditioning to play him in a film, and what the response to his performance in the limited series has meant to him; plus much more.
