Tom Hanks Hot Gossips

Tom Hanks has made a bold prediction for the future of TV on twitter. The Hollywood actor rarely issues any statements on his account but chose to send his fans a new years ‘food for thought’.

The actor who is no stranger to technology is an investor in electric cars and wanted to be an astronaut before he became an actor. He is also a member of a non-profit space advocacy organization called the National Space Society. Some of Hanks’ most memorable films include Apollo 13, Forrest Gump and Saving Private Ryan.

Tom Hanks Back on Board of Academy Awards

Tom Hanks is rejoining the board that oversees the Academy Awards.

After a one-year hiatus, Hanks was elected Tuesday to a new three-year term on the board of governors representing the actors branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Hanks was among nine incumbents and four new members elected to the board.
But a rare runoff vote is needed after two directors tied for a seat on the board.

Filmmaker Edward Zwick, who directed "Blood Diamond" and "Glory," and frequent Oscar ceremony producer and director Gil Cates tied for a seat representing the directors branch.

Runoff ballots are being mailed this week and are due back July 29.

Academy Executive Director Bruce Davis says he believes it's the first time a runoff election is needed for the board.
