September 25, 2019 David Gonzalez Film News, Reel Movies, Reel Talk Inc Comments Off on Tom Hanks to receive Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes

Two-time Academy Award winner Tom Hanks is set to receive the 2020 Cecil B. DeMille Award at the 77th Golden Globe Awards in January. The announcement was made by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association on Tuesday. In the HFPA statement, President Lorenzo Soria stated,

“For more than three decades, he’s captivated audiences with rich and playful characters that we’ve grown to love and admire,”
 “As compelling as he is on the silver screen, he’s equally so behind the camera as a writer, producer and director.”
The Cecil B. DeMille Award is awarded yearly to those the HFPA have recognized as leaving a lasting impact on the film industry. Past honorees include Jeff Bridges, Robert De Niro, Audrey Hepburn, Harrison Ford, Jodie Foster, Sophia Loren, Sidney Poitier, Steven Spielberg, Denzel Washington and Robin Williams.
Hanks fits certainly fits that criteria as he is one of the greatest actors of this generation and he’s also only one of only two actors in history to win back-to-back best actor Academy Awards.
