A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood will hit theaters in November, a prime slot for awards-season contenders, and comes from Marielle Heller, the director of last year's Oscar-nominated Can You Ever Forgive Me? Hanks securing an Oscar nomination for the role seems quite possible; this would be Hanks' first Oscar nomination since 2001, when he was nominated for Cast Away. If he were to win, it would be his first Oscar since 1995, when he won for Forrest Gump.
