Tom Hanks showed once again how to be a good neighbor.
The 63-year-old “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” star and consummate Hollywood good guy came to the rescue of “Parasite” co-producer Miky Lee at the 2020 Oscars on Sunday night. Lee was cut off and not able to give an acceptance speech after the Oscars juggernaut won for Best Picture.
After the movie won the last award of the night, co-producer Kwak Sin-ae spoke for 45 seconds, noting the historic nature of the South Korean film snagging both Best Picture and Best International Film at the Oscars.
She tied up her speech by thanking the Academy.
And as Lee approached the microphone for her turn to speak, the lights dimmed and the spotlight returned to presenter Jane Fonda, who was tasked with wrapping up the 92nd annual awards show.
The audience sighed with disappointment, and Hanks, who was sitting in the front row, led the charge to allow the producer to speak.
He began waving his hands and yelling “UP! UP! UP!” as other stars, including Charlize Theron and Hanks’ wife, Rita Wilson, joined the rallying call.
After a few seconds, the lights came back on and Lee was able to have her turn at the microphone.
The movie’s director, Bong Joon Ho, who had already accepted three awards — Best Original Screenplay, Best International Film and Best Director — had opted not to speak again, allowing his colleagues to have their moment in the sun.
Lee went on to thank Bong and the Korean fans who supported the film’s meteoric rise.
“I really like to thank director Bong,” Lee added. “Thank you for being you. And I like everything about him: his smile, his crazy hair, the way he talks, the way he walks and especially the way he directs. And, what I really like about him is his sense of humor and the fact is he can be really making fun of himself and he never takes himself seriously.”
She continued: “I’d like to thank everybody who’s been supporting ‘Parasite,’ and who’s been working with ‘Parasite’ and who’s been loving ‘Parasite.’ ”
