The stars came out to honour Tom Hanks for his body of work over the years and included such celebs as:
- Sally Field
- Glenn Close
- Charlize Theron
- Adrien Brody
- Steven Spielberg
- Ron Howard
- Julia Roberts
- Lorne Michaels
- Jeremy Irons
- Christy Turlington
- Ed Burns
Julia Roberts’ speech was especially memorable given all the F-bombs she dropped:
“Alright well, it’s late and I’m paying my babysitter overtime and I have to pee,” she began. “So Tom, everybody f—–g likes you. All my bits are gone. Listen, I had lunch today with Rita [Wilson, Hanks' wife], and her t–s were here [motioned high] and her waist was here [motioned small] and her a– was like that [motioned high], so what can I tell you that’s new? Tom Hanks, what the f–k?”
I love how she’s concerned about paying a babysitter. She makes millions per film. Like that’s an issue.
in 2004′s Ladykillers], I didn’t even know what the f–k that movie was about!” Of 2004′s The Terminal, she cracked, “You in the airport with the accent? It was a pass for me. Airport? Were you just an immigrant lost? I didn’t know. I love you, and I didn’t know what to do, really. God, I’m wearing the same f—–g dress tonight as your publicist!”
She concluded her ‘speech’ without any F-bombs:
“Listen, I’ve got to get home. But this much we know … I will say this: Tom Hanks, I love you.” “It’s so dark out there, I feel like I’m in space,” she said as an audience member held up their cell phone. “Thank you, whoever just made it light. [Lost creator] J.J. Abrams, are you here?”
