Pittsburgh and the Golden Globes

The 77th annual Golden Globe Awards are on Sunday with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association honoring the best movies television stars and the best movies and TV shows of 2019 – and Pittsburgh has subtly taken some of the spotlight.

For starters, fashion icon and East Liberty native Billy Porter is nominated in the best actor in a television series (‘Pose’) category.

Then, it is always a beautiful day in the neighborhood when our favorite neighbors get recognized.

Tom Hanks recently portrayed America’s favorite neighbor, Mister Rogers, in “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,” that earned him a nomination for best supporting actor in a motion picture for the Pittsburgh-based movie.

A congratulations is already in order for Hanks as he will be named the winner of the 2020 Cecil B. Demille Award for his contributions to the world of entertainment.

Who doesn’t love seeing a little bit of Pittsburgh shine through the glitz, glam and excitement of big Hollywood events?
