Tom Hanks’ awards history at the Oscars

Tom Hanks is one of the most beloved people in the world, a true legend of the silver screen that has appeared in so many classic films.

From playing Forrest Gump and Mr. Rogers to voicing Woody in Toy Story, Hanks has spent decades entertaining audiences with his singular performances.

Hanks has won two Academy Awards in his career, but for what movies and when? How many times has he been nominated?

He received his first nomination in Best Actor for Big (1989) before winning in back-to-back years in 1994 and 1995 for Philadelphia and Forrest Gump, respectively. That stretch made him one of the biggest movie stars on the planet.

He landed his fourth nomination in 1999 for Saving Private Ryan and his fifth in 2001 for Cast Away.

Despite a sterling list of performances after that, Hanks waited nearly two decades until his next nomination came in 2020 for playing Fred Rogers in the biopic, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.

Hanks could earn his seventh nomination in 2025, as he’ll reunite with director Robert Zemeckis in the new film Here later in 2024.
