Two time Oscar winner and eight-time Golden Globe winner Tom Hanks will be bestowed with Cecil B. DeMille Honor at the upcoming Golden Globe Awards ceremony. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced this Tuesday that they'll award Tom Hanks the award for "outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment."

"The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is proud to bestow the 2020 Cecil B. DeMille Award to Tom Hanks," said HFPA President Lorenzo Soria. "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. We're honored to include Mr. Hanks with such luminaries as Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Martin Scorsese, and Barbra Streisand to name a few."

Tom Hanks made his debut with Armand Mastroianni's 'He Knows You're Alone' and has since starred in over 70 movies, becoming the only actor to win back to back Academy Awards. He will be seen as Fred Rogers in Marielle Heller's 'A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood' and war film 'Greyhound' and sci-fi movie 'BIOS.'

The 77th annual Golden Globe Awards will air live on January 5, 2020.
