Hollywood came to New York Monday night to honor Tom Hanks with the Film Society's 36th Annual Gala Tribute at Lincoln Center's newly renovated Alice Tully Hall. Julia Roberts, Ron Howard, Steven Spielberg, Charlize Theron and Bruce Springsteen were just a few of Tom's friends, colleagues and co-stars who presented a variety of clips, anecdotes and accolades to the two-time Oscar winner, whose celebrated career spans from his "Bosom Buddies" days on TV and his first collaboration with Howard in 1984, 'Splash,' to his Oscar winning performances in 'Philadelphia' and 'Forest Gump' and his latest project with Howard, 'Angels & Demons.' "Besides the fact that I'm a massive fan I feel like I got interested in acting because of him and watching his work," Charlize Theron tells "The Insider" about Tom. "Getting the chance to work with him and getting to know him a little bit made me realize that there's something about him that is so genuine and sweet, and just sincere. Makes you realize the nice guy does end up on top." Previous Film Society honorees include Meryl Streep, Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino, Susan Sarandon, Martin Scorsese, Clint Eastwood, Jane Fonda, Charlie Chaplin and more. Watch "The Insider" for more highlights from Monday night's event!
