According to a new poll, Tom Hanks is America\u2019s favorite movie star.<\/p>\n
Hanks, whose latest film \u201cThe Bridge of Spies\u201d is up for six Oscars, topped a Harris Poll that surveyed more than 2,200 adults in the U.S. about the best Hollywood actor\/actress. Hanks also nabbed the title in 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2013.<\/p>\n
Jumping up two spots from last year, Johnny Depp was runner-up.

Both were also snubbed for a Golden Globe nomination.<\/p>\n
Denzel Washington, who was absent from the big screen in 2015 and topped last year\u2019s list, fell two positions\u00a0to America\u2019s third favorite movie star. \u00a0The \u201cTraining Day\u201d actor\u00a0was honored with the coveted Cecil B. DeMille Award earlier this month at the Globes.<\/p>\n
The Harris Poll\u2019s top five was rounded out with Oscar-winning western icon John Wayne and Harrison Ford, who reprised his role as\u00a0Han Solo in the\u00a0box office hit \u201cStar Wars: The Force Awakens.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a category all her own, Sandra Bullock \u2014 who voiced a villain in \u201cMinions\u201d and portrayed a political strategist in \u201cOur Brand Is Crisis\u201d this past year \u2014 grabbed\u00a0the No. 6 spot, making her the first actress to appear on the list. Not far behind, Oscar nominee Jennifer Lawrence (\u201cHunger Games: Mockingjay \u2014\u00a0Part 2,\u201d \u201cJoy\u201d) earned the seventh slot.<\/p>\n
