Criticism

The nomination for Tom Cruise's well received performance for Worst Actor in Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds was criticized for nominating the actor based on his multiple controversies throughout 2005 (what also reflected in the Most Tiresome Tabloid Targets category) instead of his actual role in the film.^[3]
