Philadelphia (1993)
Academy Award Winner Tom Hanks

“I know that my work is magnified by the fact that the streets of heaven are too crowded with angels. We know their names. They number a thousand for each of the red ribbons that we wear here tonight. They finally rest in the warm embrace of the gracious creator of us all.

A healing embrace that cools their fevers, that clears their skin, and allows their eyes to see the simple, self-evident, common sense truth that is made manifest by the benevolent creator of us all, and was written down on paper by wise men, tolerant men in the city of Philadelphia 200 years ago.”

The acceptance speech for “Philadelphia” given by Tom Hanks at the 1994 Academy Awards (March 21, 1994).
