Tom Hanks' Oscar record is safe for 1 more year

Tom Hanks can rest easy knowing no one is coming for his title this year. The actor is one of only five performers to win two consecutive Academy Awards for acting. He won his first Oscar in 1994, for his performance in 'Philadelphia,' and again in 1995 for his performance in 'Forrest Gump.' When Hanks won his second Oscar, three of the other four actors to reach that career milestone were still alive.

He won his second Oscar for playing the titular character in 'Forrest Gump,' a film which follows a neurodivergent man as he inadvertently finds himself at the center of many historical moments. During a June 2023 appearance on 'The Graham Norton Show,' Hanks shared how he came up with the character's iconic voice. 'Bob Zemeckis came to me and said, ‘Hey, we got a problem on this!’ You got to teach this kid how to talk the way you want to talk,’' he said on the show.
