Golden Globes 2020: Crying Tom Hanks moves the room to tears as he thanks his ‘fantastic’ wife Rita Wilson and ‘wise’ kids while being honored with Cecil B DeMille Award
- Actor, 63, held back tears as he called attention to his immediate family
- Hanks noted co-stars such as Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts
- Hanks won Oscars in consecutive years for his performances in 1993’s Philadelphia and 1994’s Forrest Gump
Tom Hanks was emotional as he paid homage to friends and family while accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the 77th annual Golden Globe Awards Sunday, which were held at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.
The two-time Academy Award winner, 63, couldn’t hold back the tears as he called attention to his immediate family – wife Rita Wilson, 63, and kids Colin, 42, Elizabeth, 37, Chet, 29, and Truman, 24 – and moved the room to tears.
‘A man is blessed with a family sitting down front like that,’ he said. ‘A wife who is fantastic in every way, who has taught me what love is.’
Tears: Tom Hanks was emotional as he paid homage to friends and family while accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the 77th annual Golden Globe Awards Sunday, which were held at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California
He paid homage to ‘kids who are braver and stronger and wiser than their old man is … and a loving group of people who have put up with me being away for months and months and months at a time … I can’t tell you how much your love means to me.’
His emotive words visibly moved guests at the event, with his wife Rita tearing up during the poignant speech.
Hanks mentioned a list of performers he’s shared the screen with – and drawn inspiration from – over the course of more than four decades in show business.
‘You’re a dope if you don’t steal from everybody you’ve ever worked with,’ he said. ‘And I have stolen from the likes of the people that only need one name, like Meryl, like Denzel, like Antonio, like Meg, like Julia, like Sally Field – even though that’s two names, it’s still one.
‘But I have also been made better by watching the examples of some of the greatest actors that have ever walked the stage.’
Moved: The room – including Hanks’ wife Rita Wilson – was brought to tears at his emotional speech
Loved: The two-time Academy Award winner, 63, couldn’t hold back the tears as he called attention to his immediate family – wife Rita Wilson, 63, and kids Colin, 42, Elizabeth, 37, Chet, 29, and Truman, 24
Tender moment: The actor looked at his family and praised them as ‘a loving group of people who have put up with me being away for months and months and months at a time’
Grounded: The two-time Academy Award winner, 63, held back tears as he called attention to his immediate family
He showed reverence to directors and writers he’s worked alongside, saying he’s ‘never not been challenged or flummoxed or lost sleep’ in trying to live up to the role at hand.
‘It’s those moments as an actor where everybody I’ve ever worked with has helped me get to that place – sometimes it’s three o’clock in the morning and sometimes it’s 11 at night – but you just have to somehow put it all together, have faith in what the process is, and go there.’
Hanks credited a theater director named Dan Sullivan for providing sage advice at a camp he attended years back: Be on time, knowing the text of lines to recite and coming with a headful of ideas.
‘That was the greatest lesson a young actor could possibly ever first of all, the head full of ideas,’ said the actor, who won Oscars in consecutive years for his performances in 1993’s Philadelphia and 1994’s Forrest Gump. ‘Bring anything, try anything they might not use it. If it stinks, they won’t use it.
Appreciative: Hanks mentioned a list of performers he’s shared the screen with – and drawn inspiration from – over the course of more than four decades in show business
Thorough: Hanks showed reverence to directors and writers he’s worked alongside
Starry night: Hanks was presented with the honors by fellow Oscar-winner Charlize Theron
Kind words: Theron said that ‘the most undeniable thing that could be said about Tom Hanks is both deceptively simple and yet overwhelmingly true: He just makes the world a better place’
Dramatic: Theron was moved to tears by the significant show business moment
‘Knowing the text, and it’s not just your lines, it’s the whole thing. It’s the red dot. It’s the theme of the movie. You’ve got to know it. You might not be right in the opinion you bring to it but you’ve got to come at it with some direction.’
Hanks, who’s also collected eight Golden Globes in his career, praised the power of punctuality, saying that ‘showing up on time is one of the greatest and most liberating acts you can give yourself in a movie.’
