Colin is basically the clone of his father. There are times when I'm watching something Colin is in and I can close my eyes and hear Tom.

You see how at the last second Tom Hanks waves to the crowd and salutes. I was stationed in so cal at the time and a bunch of us Marines were in the audience. He was saluting at us it was an amazing night. I got to meet a lot of the actors after the show in the lobby of the Kodak Theatre. Thanks for posting this!

TO ME ONE OF THE GREATEST ACTORS EVER IN EVERY WAY~
Tom is one of the most beautifully articulate performers or celebrities ever. His words match his work, which come from the heart…touching and inspiring us all.
What a class act. Style, grace and class.
Hah, I loved the part when his son gets up and he's bowing and doing his thing and the camera goes back to Tom and he's just grinning xD I love how he always acts like it's not about him - it's the movie, it's his family, his fellow actors, everyone but him. Why aren't there more guys like Tom Hanks out there? XP
Practically perfect in every way
He literally always has the best acceptance speeches
He cries in all of his speeches when he gets to the part about his wife. He loves her SO MUCH!

Tom is a world treasure
Favourite actor in the world 🌎 nothing is better than tom !
One of my very favorite actors. He seems to be a genuinely good man. He doesn't appear to be a fake. He seems to be a lovely man.
Man, that was a great speech!
Tom Hanks has come a long way since his TV show days and has definitely made his mark cinematically. His passion for cinema is what makes him a very effective and endearing Actor and it shows in each of his performances.
That Tom Hanks, he gives a helluva speech.
I have loved Tom since I saw him in the tv series Bosom Buddies.
I truly love this honourable, wonderful man. He deserves this. Humble and loved by many and deservedly so. Its not how much you love but how much you are loved by others that count. Well Tom...you are loved both as an actor and a man. God bless you and your entire family x
2002 life time achievement. He deserves a 2nd for 2003-2021
Tom Hanks is the best actor of my generation.
I Like Tom Hanks He’s One Of My Favourite Actors ❤️👍
Every person in the audience has the same expression: pure adoration.
I wish my life was so blessed. I can't imagine a better life Tom and Rita have had; not belittling the hard work, but amazed at the love and dedication. God bless you and your family. You deserve the love the world has for you.
Love me some TomHanks!❤️❤️❤️
the best acceptance speech acceptor of all award winners. great actor
Saving Private Ryan changed my life and it made me, a young European aware of the great gift we got back in '44. Since five years I visit the US Normandy cemetery with students to remember and honor those who made it possible. Tom and Stephen showed it. Thanks guys. In Europe there will always people who will remember.

LOVED THAT!!! His son was hilarious.
His acting has come so far from his first rolls. I remember watching him in the TV sitcom Bussom Buddies. Then the movie Bachelor Party. How his talent has changed and been refined and sharpened to a razors edge that cuts to your soul and makes you feel the pain of life. Such as Saving Private Ryan and The Road to Perdition. So few actors in today's Hollywood can make an audience laugh, cry, feel remorse and anger. Take you through and emotional rollercoaster in just a few hours. I look forward to more of Tom Hanks movies.
The chemistry between the children is the best thing, Rita Wilson is so beautiful viewed through the eyes of Tom Hanks, and yes sir, I envy the life that you have. I wish you well and ever young in your art and in our hearts. Amen.

Right on Tom. Shout out to Oakland, California where you attended Skyline High School. Born in Concord, California, congratulations on another homeboy who made it big.
His youngest cracked me up. Can definitely tell he is his dad's son....LOL
How beautiful.....how nice! Yes, you have made us love movies all the more. May God bless you and your family for all times to come. Lets see more of you in future.
One of the most amazing things about this man is that he is STILL making incredible stories come to life. Sully. It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (Mr Rodgers). With NO end in sight.
I love TOm Hanks, he's one of my fav. actor not only because his good at his craft but also because he's a good guy. That is also why he is blessed to have all those people in the room celebrating with him.
THanks for the movies.

You sir are all class.....amazing actor, dedicated and loyal husband/father, and a down right fabulous human being.....i salute you Mr Hanks 🙋♂️
I, unfortunately, did not appreciate his status as an actor until recently. His indelible performance in "Scully" secured that. Bless you, Mr Hanks.
The way he described his love and passion for the art of cinema is exactly how i've felt ever since i saw my first movie at 5 years old. Tom Hanks has always been, and always will be one of my all time favorite actors. Well deserved award!! :)
I love Tom!!

Is there an Oscar for THEE BEST, MOST AUTHENTIC, WELL DELIVERED ACCEPTANCE SPEECH EVER?!?!... What an inspiration this man is for us ALL to cherish. We love you, Mr. Tom Hanks or as, David Letterman once elegantly bestowed, 'T'hanks 'O'm . Truly. So much respect., 💜 🍀 💜
I was born 73, but since I watch tv... I saw him in bossom buddies... and then it starts: but in over my 45 yrs of life, I have grown to love him more and more... He shows true patriotism. He loves his America, college degree in history and a BIG SUPPORTER of our Miliatry. He loves his family, true to GOD. One of the very few actors that I have heard that YOU DON'T HEAR drama... He represents as a true american, not being military. He shows his love for the movies, can say he has acted in all types, , but outside of the movie, and great citizen. A regular human being, GOD , Family, America... HOW CAN ANY1 SAY anything negative about him. This is what Hollywood should act like. Now, everyone makes mistakes, but they don't advertise it. Well done TOm Hanks, and ty for one of the few who show other countries America is and can be awesome ~ *My favorite all-time actor *
Class act, one of the greatest
When Steven Spielberg Bows down while giving the Award, you know you achieved something special. Huge respect for Tom Hanks

His kids are all so adorable. I'm sure Tom is a good father in his home.
Humble and respectful. Honors his wife and others. As good as it gets.
Tom is a great actor of tremendous capacity & of ingredible talent he proves to us again & again that he will take what ever material is available & for sure he will make the best out of it he is like that he really has it that I called success on the other hand too he is great human soul in such times of few relaxation moments in Greece which he loves so much in his summer home in the small island of antiparos having proved just that in his every day dealings with the Greek people the understanding with them when happened to be in the streets the extended of his hand speaking few words with them e t c.he always find a way out of how to be a pleasure & this is what makes the difference in Tom's character .
The greatest actor ever.He loves his family and sure loves GOD.He is one BIG reason why America is no.one.I am a Filipino but i feel that America is so blessed because of Americans like Tom Hanks.Continue soaring up the highest Mr.Hanks.I remain an avid fan and have watched " Sully" two days ago,still showing here in the Phillippines.Long live Tom Hanks!😍
What good person. I'll be gratefull always for the movie "Volunteers". I was actually in Peace Corps in Thailand and I tell you IT"S ALL TRUE!!!
WOW, he's fantastic.

Always a kind word about this actor~.... His acting is sincere in any roll~ . I love his tributes, acting, spoken words towards our Military. GOD bless u Tom Hanks and TYVM for everything ~
America's greatest actor and movie star for the duration of sound 1929 for 94.
This is Mr. Tom Hanks. A REALLY GREAT American actor, husband, father and human being. Period!!!
The declaration of love to his wife was very moving. Can't count the times that I've watched this video. Wonderful actor.
A truly authentic man. A friend of mine, a very accountant accountant, saw him arrive at a restaurant, and quite out of character, walked over and asked for his autograph for his kids, "Fuck off", Tom said, "I'm here to have dinner with friends." I told my buddy he deserved it.
Tom is so too nice so humble just a lovely kind human being x
Kid was class!
THE very first acceptance speech worth listening to. Tom Hanks is so genuine, modest but hugely talented. We should be calling him Mr President. xXx
just love Tom Hanks, especially when he buys you lunch at the drive thru
They are actually playing the long version of Band of Brothers theme song in the background while Hanks is stepping forward to accept the achievement. =)
hes truly one of the best actors in the world. i dont think anybody hates him coz he knows how to make people love him.
