Tom Hanks will go to next year’s Golden Globes ceremony knowing he’s going to win an award, but it won’t necessarily be for his performance as Mister Rogers in the upcoming “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.”
Hanks, who will likely be in the running for that film as well, is assured a prize on Jan. 5 because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Board of Directors has voted to give him the 2020 Cecil B. deMille Award, the HFPA announced on Tuesday.
The annual award is given to an individual, most often an actor or actress, who has “made a lasting impact on the film industry,” in the words of an HFPA press release.
