Prior to the 2022 Oscars award ceremony, Academy Award-winning actor Tom Hanks discussed the process of voting for the Oscars at a press junket for his film Catch Me If You Can. Hanks, who has been nominated for six Oscars and won two, made a surprising revelation about the voting process. He explained how the Oscar voting process works, saying that Academy members receive a list of all the movies that have been made and the people in them. The members then have to decide which movies they think were the most truly affecting and vote for those. Hanks said that he doesn’t judge based on genre, but simply votes for the movies that he thought were the best.
