It is unlikely that anyone who saw Tropic Thunder this past summer thought to themselves, “Wow, this is a film that could rack up some Golden Globe noms.” However, its impossible to deny that Tom Cruise’s performance as Les Grossman, the booty dancing, shrewd dealing studio head was anything less than brilliant. Yesterday, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association confirmed said brilliance by nominating Cruise for Best Supporting Actor alongside Robert Downey Jr. (Tropic Thunder) and Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight).

After the nominations were announced, Cruise talked to E! about what this means for the ever-angry Grossman. When asked what Les might say in response to the acclaim Cruise said, “Les would probably say something unprintable.”

And when asked whether or not we’ll ever see Grossman on screen again, Cruise was optimistic. “I’ve talked about doing different videos with the character,” Cruise said. “I’ve started working with Ben [Stiller] on it, and we’ve kind of talked about different things to do. We were gonna do some in our free time, but we haven’t found the free time…yet.”

So we might just see a little more Grossman after all. My only requirement is that they bring back Bill Hader as his lowly executive producer chew toy.

Would you like to see more Les Grossman in the future?
