During Sunday night’s Golden Globes telecast, veteran actor Tom Hanks presented actor Denzel Washington with the Cecil B. DeMille Award. Hanks spoke about Washington’s long-standing contributions to the film industry. “Every generation of filmgoers finds him or her, the artist that defines the time we all live in. As the credits are added to IMDB, so, too, is the power of their persona and personal taste, their learned craft and their instinctive talent, their obvious abilities and the mysterious power they have to not just hold our attention, but demand it.” Ever so deserving, Denzel Washington’s career has embodied charisma and vitality. Malcom X, Training Day, The Pelican Brief, for instance, showcased his dynamic talent and capability to draw movie lovers in. He’s starred in over 45 films and numerous television programs and theatre plays. Although Washtingont has been in the film industry ince 1981, he continues to astonish fans and his peers. Last night, he kindly accepted the Cecil B. DeMille Award alongside his wife and kids. Watch his acceptance speech above.
