We would like to wish a very Happy Birthday to Mr. Hanks ! :)
Tom Hanks is turning 56 today. We wish him all the best for the future and we hope he spends a great day with his friends and family.

Tom Hanks and the crew working on the movie Captain Phillips took some time off from the set to meet Mia, a little girl who is fighting an incurable disease Neurofibromatosis, a genetic disorder of the nervous system which causes tumors to grow on a nerve anywhere in the body, at any time.

Mia was so funny and he was so nice. She said "You don't look like Woody". Tom grabbed her shoulder and said "Well, Mia. You got to close your eyes..." Then he started doing lines from Toy Story. It was great. :-)

You can see the photos of Mia meeting Tom Hanks and other actors from the movie on the Facebook page Can Mia get 1,000,000 fans to raise awarness of Neurofibromatosis?

The second round of the People's Choice Awards nominations has just started. Remember, we told you that Tom Hanks was nominated in two categories : Favorite Movie Icon and Favorite TV Guest Star, along nine other nominees. The first round was about eliminating five of them... Only the five nominees that got the most vote, get to stay in the race for a People's Choice Award.

While Tom Hanks did not make it to the final five nominees as Favorite TV Guest Star, he did make it for the Favorite Movie Icon category. But he is nominated alongside some heavy-weight actors : George Clooney, Harrison Ford, Morgan Freeman and Robert DeNiro.

Let's just keep voting for Tom Hanks over and over again to make him win that People's Choice Awards this year ! Are you with us ? Results will be announced on January 11, 2012.
