Plus Tom Cruise is (was) a massive sex symbol and box office draw and the Oscars hate to reward people who have everything.

That's kind of true, but also unfair, seeing as there are a lot of actors (and actresses -- Anne Hathaway) who won the Academy Award, even though they just play themselves. Has Matthew McConaughey ever not played some guy from The South with a thick accent? Has Denzel Washington ever not played Denzel Washingston? Hell, has Kevin Spacey ever not played Kevin Spacey? I don't really have a problem with actors playing themselves, as long as they are interesting people.
Seth Rogan playing himself is always fun and interesting because he's a fun and interesting personality. Tom Cruise playing himself is always good, because he's a great dramatic actor. Anne Hathaway always playing herself is obnoxious because she's an obnoxious personality (shout out to Gwyneth Paltrow).

It's irrelevant how many sold out shows she had. If she had the same amout of shows as Beyoncé she would've grossed less because she has less star power and less talent and that's what matters.
shut up she's 30
