Fox News
Tom Hanks is currently the only actor alive who has won two consecutive Oscars for acting. He won his Oscars for "Philadelphia" and "Forrest Gump."
Lori Bashian is an entertainment production assistant for Fox News Digital.
When Hanks won his second Oscar, three of the other four actors to reach that career milestone were still alive. However, after Luise Rainer passed away in 2014, Hanks became the only living actor to win an Oscar two years in a row. He has managed to keep that status for the past decade.
Along with Hanks and Rainer, Jason Robards, Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy also took home the award in consecutive years.
