MANILA, Philippines – Hollywood A-lister Tom Hanks continues to get the recognition he deserves – the Oscar-winning actor-producer will be receiving a lifetime achievement award from the Golden Globe awards organization.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) announced on Tuesday, September 25 that the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille award will be awarded to Hanks during the 2020 Golden Globes ceremony on January 5 in Los Angeles, according to a USA Today report.
“For more than 3 decades, he’s captivated audiences with rich and playful characters that we’ve grown to love and admire,” Lorenzo Soria, HFPA president, said in a statement.
“As compelling as he is on the silver screen, he’s equally so behind the camera as a writer, producer and director.”

Previous recipients include Steven Spielberg, Meryl Streep, Oprah Winfrey, Jeff Bridges, Martin Scorsese, Audrey Hepburn, Barbara Streisand, Denzel Washington, and Harrison Ford.
