This award is one of the most prestigious honors in the entertainment industry, and Tom Hanks certainly deserves every bit of the recognition he’s receiving.
A Memorable Night for Tom Hanks
At 63 years old, Tom Hanks continues to amaze audiences with his incredible performances. On this special night, he was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture for his role in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. Before taking the stage, he was introduced by the equally talented Charlize Theron. As Tom stepped up to accept the award, he made sure to acknowledge the one person who’s been his rock throughout his journey—his wife, Rita Wilson. In a sweet gesture, he gave her a kiss, reminding everyone just how much she means to him.
During his acceptance speech, the Forrest Gump star couldn’t help but crack a joke about the star-studded audience. “Most of the people in this room, I would pay to see them get their cars washed,” he quipped, drawing laughter from the crowd. But as the moment grew more serious, Tom’s emotions came pouring out when he talked about his family. It was clear that his loved ones mean the world to him, and he wasn’t afraid to show it.

I can’t tell you how much your love means to me.”
