Tom Hanks is being honored for, well, being Tom Hanks! 
The actor, who’s arguably one of the most likable people in Hollywood, is set to receive 
the  prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Award at the upcoming 2020 Golden Globes. 
The DeMille award is a distinguished honor handed out every year at the Globes that 
highlights someone that has made "outstanding contributions to the world of 
entertainment." The Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced the exciting news 
on Tuesday calling it an honor to have Hanks receive this year's award saying, 
Hanks has had quite the resume since breaking into the business including starring in 
films such as 'Big,' 'Philadelphia,' 'Forrest Gump,' 'Sleepless in Seattle,' 'Saving Private 
Ryan,' 'Castaway,' and the 'Toy Story' franchise, I mean, the list goes on. 
The actor has also been decorated with many awards throughout his venerable career 
and is one of only two actors in history to win back-to-back best actor Academy Awards, 
the first in 1994 for 'Philadelphia' and the following year, his second Oscar for 
'Forrest Gump.' He also won the Golden Globe Award for both films, as well as a 
Screen Actors Guild Award for the latter. Hanks has also been awarded the American Film 
Institute’s Life Achievement Award in 2002, the notable Chaplin Award from the Film 
Society of Lincoln Center in 2009 and a Kennedy Center Honor in 2014. 
Hanks will next be seen portraying Mr. Fred Rodgers in the highly anticipated upcoming 
biopic 'A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.' 
Past recipients of the Cecille B. DeMille award included Meryl Streep, 
Denzel Washington, George Clooney, Morgan Freeman, Robert De Niro, 
Steven Spielberg, and Oprah Winfrey among other distinguished Hollywood elite. 
The 2020 Golden Globes are set to air live January 5 on NBC.
