Tom Hanks broke his two-decade-long drought by getting nominated for the Oscars for his role in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.
The Cast Away actor played the role of Mister Rogers in the movie directed by Marielle Heller.
Hank's history with the Oscars
Hanks has been nominated for Best Actor in Supporting Role category. Hanks earned his last nomination for being the Lead Actor in Cast Away, released in 2000.
The present nomination brings the overall nominations to six for the actor. Previously, Hanks won two Oscars for Forest Gump and Philadelphia in the Lead Actor category.
Despite his outstanding performances in Saving Mr. Banks, in which he played the role of Walt Disney, and Captain Phillips, Hank did not find any mention in the Oscars. The movies were released in 2013.
Scarlett Johansson gets her first Oscar nomination
This year's Oscars hold a special place for Scarlett Johansson who finally scored her first-ever nomination. The 35-year-old actress scored a double whammy by being nominated under two categories, a first in 13 years.
Johansson was nominated for Best Actress for her role in Marriage Story and Best Supporting Actress for Jojo Rabbit. Johansson becomes the second actor to win twin nominations at the Oscars, the first being Cate Blanchett who was nominated in two categories - I'm Not There and Elizabeth: The Golden Age, in the 2017 edition of Oscars.
