Uh ... is Charlize Theron lesbian? 

What did she say that makes you think she's a lesbian?

I thought it was much better than what I had expected from the ads I had seen.  It is funny but also very emotional too. Unique.

It has one image (at the end ) that always makes me tear up when I think of it.

[mtlchick]

Pretty surprised Charlize is the one doing the intro for Tom Hanks. I would have placed my bets on Spielberg or if we managed to find her, Meg Ryan.

Phew!  It looks like Rita Wilson’s hair and makeup team must have made it in time.

Hahaha. I was wondering how she was going to look after that drama!

[sally-can-wait]

Why do I find it completely random that Charlize is presenting Tom this award? Like huh?

[thuganomics85]

I was confused over Charlize Theron introducing Tom Hanks for his award, but now it makes sense.

She was in That Thing You Do? 

That was my same thought. Was there no one else to present this award?

Nothing. Idk for whatever reason I thought she had recently come out. But is that another actress?

[bmoore4026]

No Mazes and Monsters clip, I see.

[TVFan17]

I don't remember Tom Hanks on The Love Boat.  That's going way back.

Really hope Jojo Rabbit gets to my area soon.  It just looks so weird, that I have to see if they pull it off.  Certainly looks like a film that Taika Waititi would make.

I have to admit, I'm not a big fan of child actors, but that kid playing Jojo was pretty amazing.  The movie is well worth your time, even though it gets really dark, and kind of falls apart at the end.

That joke that Sasha Baron Cohen made about Mark Zuckerberg ..... ouch !! 

Hit a little too close to the truth.

He hates Facebook, and for good reason.  I'm glad he used this moment to amplify his message.  There's something desperately wrong with Mark Zuckerberg and his entire creation.

[Fostersmom]

What, no mention of Bosom Buddies?

I like that movie.

This is as wacky as the Jonas Brothers singing Earth, Wind & Fire songs at the Kennedy Center Honors.

[scarynikki12]

Yay Tom Hanks! 

[CherryMalotte]

My husband is disappointed they didn't mention Dragnet in the clip reel.

There was a brief clip of Bosom Buddies, but no Joe vs. the Volcano mention -- the assemblers for this montage must have a brain cloud.

She's raising her child as transgender (not sure what the best way to phrase it.)

There was a three second clip of it

[thuganomics85]

Still think Catch Me If You Can is some of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's most underrated work.  And honestly one of my favorite performances from Leo DiCaprio, since he actually seemed to be having fun and not trying so damn hard.

Also, still can't figure out how Tom Hanks didn't at least get a nomination for those last five minutes in Captain Phillips.

Heresy I say.  Just heresy.

There was a still in the early part of the montage.

[Ohwell]

Make it brief Tom.  

[MVFrostsMyPie]

Ahh, every time they show Beyonce's reaction (because, we totally care about her reaction?), I burst out laughing.

[absnow54]

finally a shot of unimpressed Henry Winkler!

They showed a clip during the reel

I saw a clip of it in his retrospective.

[wallflower75]

I have no words to describe how amazing I think Tom Hanks is.

I guess be grateful that you're not old enough to remember that?  I do remember but only because I used to watch the show in reruns---more recently that I should probably admit to given how slight the stories are.

JLO must have been so relieved when she saw Beyonce's dress.

If she’s as big a fan as she said then that gave them the excuse to give it to her rather than more high profile costars. 

[Misslindsey]

Is Colin Hanks there?

[mtlchick]

Only one person said they were on the Love Boat?  

If you were a New York actor, you're not a "real New York actor" until you did Law and Order. 

Tom Hanks is crying.  "Charlize is a one person name" is making her cry.

The onion cutting machine is working overtime tonight. 

[Minneapple]

The clip reel showed what an incredibly versatile actor Tom Hanks is. He's been in so many movies and even the silly shallow-seeming movies are memorable and watchable and rewatchable. 

[bmoore4026]

Surprising, Charlize Theron is the only person besides Tom Hanks that is still doing things after That Thing You Do.

[Ohwell]

I never thought Tom Hanks was handsome or hot but he has aged well.  Just end it soon though, ok?

I am absolutely old enough.  I watched Love Boat all the time when it was on, and then Fantasy Island after that!  I just don't remember Tom's specific episode, but I remember all sorts of other people on the show.

[MVFrostsMyPie]

Shout out to Kyle Chandler's gray streak.

[Arynm]

Colin Hanks is there and looking good!

I briefly contemplated watching Marriage Story for about 3 seconds, but I don't like Scarlett Johansen, Adam Driver, or marriage.

Same, but only the first two. I do happen to like marriage. 

Everyone is saying I should be into Adam Driver, but I just can't. 

[MerBearHou]

I adore Tom Hanks.  He is a treasure like our current version of Jimmy Stewart IMO.

In the charming, wonderful “That Thing You Do”, Charlize had a tiny role as the vapid, self-involved girlfriend of the lead actor (Tom Everett Scott).  

[absnow54]

I like that even newly engaged, Michelle Williams still brought Busy Phillips as her date. 

[Jaded]

I had forgotten that Penny Marshall died until Tom mentioned her. It made me sad about her loss all over again. 

[Ohwell]

This isn't the Oscars, Tom  We don't need a looooong speech. 

[scarynikki12]

Hanks would make an amazing film professor. 

[CherryMalotte]

I love you Tom, but yeah...it's time.  Move it along, go home, and I'll share my Mucinex with you.

Jimmy Stewart didn't like Black people.  Tom Hanks has relatives who are Black people so I'll take Tom Hanks every time.

[Growsonwalls]

Ok so Tom Hanks really needs a good director because he's going on for way too long.

Tom Everett Scott, Liv Tyler, Steve Zahn, and Giovanni Ribisi went on to have pretty good careers.

God, I love that movie. One of both Tom and Leo's best work. I was sad that it didn't gain much traction during its awards season run except for Christopher Walken who was so fantastic in it as Leo's father.
