Tom Cruise's Top Gun: Maverick, which sees the actor return to the skies more than 30 years on from the original, is up for best picture at this year's Oscars, and five other awards including film editing, sound and visual effects. The UWC says the film has ties to a Russian oligarch.
"Ukrainians and friends of Ukraine around the world are grateful to the Academy for its long-standing support of Ukraine," the letter said.
It said the eligibility of the blockbuster Top Gun sequel should be reviewed and that a"strong statement" should be issued by the Academy condemning the war. Sky News has contacted the Academy and Top Gun: Maverick production company Paramount Pictures for comment.
