Will Tom Hanks be given a seat at Barack Obama's inauguration?

Settled as Yes

Looks like his little talking gig on Sunday earned him a spot in the "orange section" with other celebs: Jamie Foxx, Dustin Hoffman and Jon Bon Jovi.

Background:

Background: Tom Hanks wants to attend President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration even if he doesn't get a front-row seat. Or any seat at all.

"Look, I'll be in the back," the 52-year-old Oscar winner said backstage Tuesday night at a benefit for the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television. "I'll sit on the Lincoln steps and just watch it from the distance on a Jumbotron. I've never been to anything like that, and — finally — a guy I voted for won. That hasn't happened most of my life."

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source. If there are no reports about Hanks being in the audience then this question will be settled as No.
