On last night's 73rd Annual GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS, Tom Hanks presented actor Denzel Washington with the Cecil B. Demille Award, given annually to a talented individual who has made an incredible impact on the world of entertainment.

Washington's achievements as a performer and a filmmaker have earned him seven Golden Globe Award nominations in two categories, resulting in two wins. He's also the recipient of two Academy Awards, two Emmy nominations, one Tony Award (for FENCES in 2010), one BAFTA Award, one NAACP Image Award, and a Grammy Award for his narration of the legend of "John Henry."
