one of the finest actors and human beings to ever grace the screen
@Scubadoda what you are talking about and what's the proof of your claim? Don't just go with accusations but give your verdict after actual proof.
@@Billie0708 they just deleted the comment when they realised what trash talk they had been doing for an year......
They all bullshit us.
I know im randomly asking but does any of you know a way to log back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid lost my account password. I would love any tips you can offer me!
@Cayson Fletcher instablaster :)
Imagine being in a room where every single person loves you and admires your work,Way to go Tom you deserve every accolade.
And shake hands with 2 members of the greatest generation to boot.
His kids are so proud of him, you can tell. What great kids. You can see him in them.
+kaara's mom Did you know that Tom Hanks's daughter Elizabeth was in Forrest Gump
+Kevin Haynes
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.
Ten13Grl no basically colin is the clone of his father
that little kid is gonna be a star.
I love the way he kisses his wife. Lucky woman. Well done Tom!
Their love remember the love of Paul Newman and Joan Woodward always together for fifty years till Paul’s dead,God bless you Tom and your family ,so simple and so special
@@neriozulberti1492 Love your comparison to Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward! Yes! Both couples with incredible love values that have kept them together... not only for their marital commitments..... love their commitment to their children.... future grandchildren 💖
There'll never be another like him.
I love that the first people he greets on stage are the men of Easy Company. Respect.
Any idea which soldiers those fellas were?
@@benlee7864 Bill Guarnere and Babe Heferon
God even his acceptance speech is worthy of an award, Gracious, humble, thankful, humorous, reflective. Can he do anything that ISN'T award worthy?
He could be in a porn film and still get an award for it :P
He is a good man.
ShadowWolf1982, well their was that shirt time back in the 80s where he was a drag queen with his best friend just so he could live in a cheap apartment. But even then, he actually played a pretty convincing role.
@@oliverfletcher1939 That is more his brother. But Isaac Kappy says Tom is paedophile. he tweeted road kill on route 66, the scene of Kappys death. It's somewhat questionable.
Oliver Fletcher !8
His little son has the makings of a comedic genius already, very nice reaction to his father's speech there....and Tom Hanks really is priceless, the face of an ordinary man, with extraordinary talent and heart.love him
Hanks is my favourite actor.
If Morgan Freeman is humanity's voice, Tom Hanks is its beating heart. A truly wonderful man.
How can this have any dislikes?!?!?!?!?!?! Who doesn't love Tom Hanks!?!?!?!?! SERIOUSLY!?!?!?!?!
Matthew Noel True that
Tom Hanks is awesome
It's a f***ing internet, people are f***ing expressing themselves! Not being afraid to get punched or stuff like that. So don't pay any attention.
Johnny Montalvo exactly
ill punch you in the mouth
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.
4:14 RIP Bill Paxton
I usually don't go with what everyone else thinks, but I love this dude
Could a man be more loving and perfectly complementary of his love?
Can we all agree that sometimes the nice guy finishes first. Well done indeed, Tom Hanks.
I like the man...
He's one of the elite actors in the world
Watching his "Life Achievement " and now 20 years more work since. Gifted. Truly America's actor.
Tom Hanks is an amazing Actor, i love his work!
Thanks Mr. Hanks.
What a class act. Style, grace and class.
Not CHET trying to get some wine @ 6:00 🤣🤣
He cries in all of his speeches when he gets to the part about his wife. He loves her SO MUCH!
Practically perfect in every way
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!
***** Are you serious? What were you doing there?
deftone4u thank you for saving us
deftone4u exactly
THANK YOU for your service ! ! !
Thank You for serving our country, Sir.
A brilliant actor and a brilliant human being! What more could you possibly ask for?!
There is something very sinister about him .
7:06 she can barely hold back the tears
wauw ... he just won the 'best husband award ever' too !
He literally always has the best acceptance speeches
Tom is a world treasure
TO ME ONE OF THE GREATEST ACTORS EVER IN EVERY WAY~
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
The Jimmy Stewart of his generation a class act.
YES!! OMG THANK YOU!!! Someone else sees it too!!!😍😍
I always thought he's got that Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda down to earth decency that always shows through and a little bit of Jack Lemmon's comedy chops.
agree
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!
Favourite actor in the world 🌎 nothing is better than tom !
Love me some TomHanks!❤️❤️❤️
That Tom Hanks, he gives a helluva speech.
Tom Hanks is the best actor of my generation.
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.
2002 life time achievement. He deserves a 2nd for 2003-2021
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.
Changed your mind as for your life you are life
Every person in the audience has the same expression: pure adoration.
What a great human being
LOVED THAT!!! His son was hilarious.
Class act all the way!
I have loved Tom since I saw him in the tv series Bosom Buddies.
My favorite actor ever ...greetings from Egypt 🌹❤️
What an amazing person Tom Hanks is. Tom's words about the cinema are so important. The movies let us see ourselves and shape ourselves. The movies help us see how large life is.
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
HE IS PERFECT.what an amazing human being.i love you mister Hanks
A perfect example of what every man should strive to be. He makes the rest of us look like crap. Except for me. I'm perfect.
Sarcasm at peak ...
Lol, ever hear of sarcasm?
Lmao love your comment
I've long been an admirer.
@@neelabhraroy4238 that joke flew so far over your head it may as well be a star in the sky
the best acceptance speech acceptor of all award winners. great actor
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.
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!😍
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.
His youngest cracked me up. Can definitely tell he is his dad's son....LOL
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.
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, 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 him and I want to fix his tie :)
+Gretchen Mann fix my tie hon even i dont have tie
I love Tom!!
Tom Hanks is the perfect reminder of the kind of human being you'd want to be around...he's just that cool!
How can a person be this honestly decent and good a human being and yet be that talented that he never ceases to astonish us all?
Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson have dignity, distinction, normalcy, likable & lovable personalities, intelligence, mixed with humanity. WELL DESERVED, TOM!!!
He has to be the greatest actor of his generation and all other generations to come. I am from india and i bow down to you Tom Hanks
The great star Tom.
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.
This man is so humble.....I love him
THanks for the movies.
what really amazes me is that- even being such a famous actor, Tom is the most humble man ever. he's just like the guy you would meet on the street and he would smile and say 'hi'. he's funny and extremely talented and his movies have changed many, and certainly me. thank you Tom, you truly deserve this, keep making movies, and we'll keep watching 'em.
Class act, one of the greatest
You sir are all class.....amazing actor, dedicated and loyal husband/father, and a down right fabulous human being.....i salute you Mr Hanks 🙋♂️
A wonderful actor loved this tribute I just love Tom hanks movies thankyou 💕😊
08 December 2021….watching again from Vienna, AUSTRIA. In the midst of Covid Pandemic and lock down.Mr. Hanks, great actor, great human being, great husband, great Dad.God bless.
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
There's not a single person in this world that will ever dislike Tom Hanks. That's just not at all possible.
jajaja
The declaration of love to his wife was very moving. Can't count the times that I've watched this video. Wonderful actor.
If you've ever seen a man more inspirational and passionate and motivating its Tom, everything he does he succeeds and is the man we should all hope to grow to be like someday, what an amazing character, father, and husband.
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 *
WOW, he's fantastic.
I've seen almost all AFI award movies, and this one not only shows a very "down to earth" guy in the spotlight, but also a very loving family.
Tom Hanks has to be the most happy person in the world. He has a job he loves and he's great at, he loves his family and they love him.
What I like about him is that not only on camera, but also "off camera", he is what you see: a very likeable person, sincere and honoust. He soesn't have another agenda, which I can spot with some other artists.
To be recognized at such a young age speaks volumes
A lot of people who know me, knows Tom Hanks is my all-time favorite actor. Those who ask me , who don't know me, I say Tom Hanks. I haven't met one person, who has disagreed with me. 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 ~
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.
I still remember this great speech when I watched it live
Two of the most humblest Hollywood stars on stage- Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg
His kids are all so adorable.
I'm sure Tom is a good father in his home.
Tom Hanks reminds me why I love him so much! As an actor and from what we can tell, as a person! Hands down my favorite actor. And he didn't even cry when he was accepting the award! :) I was waiting for it! :D
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.
No need for Amen
Humble and respectful.
Honors his wife and others.
As good as it gets.
loads of love from India
Tom is so genuine, it's hard to imagine.
Holy crap, Babe Heffron and Bill Guarnere greeting him at the stage! How often does one get two heroes of the Battle of the Bulge applauding you and greeting you on stage to show their respect?
all gone now
this is one of the most amazing speeches I have ever heard.
He should get another one for the next 20 years,LEGEND wonderful artiste wonderful man.
This man is a true actor. No one can replace him. Tom Hanks is the best. He makes acting look so easy.
his son just steals the show lmao! :')
Tom is so too nice so humble just a lovely kind human being x
My god i love tom hanks. He is an inspiration to me as well as my family. He will always be loved by many. To many more years of seeing you on screen tom! Cheers!
