Tom Hanks won his first Oscar for a film set in which US state?

Tom Hanks has been honored with numerous awards and nominations, including two consecutive Academy Awards for "Philadelphia" (1993) and "Forrest Gump" (1994).

"Philadelphia" is a 1993 American legal drama film written by Ron Nyswaner, directed by Jonathan Demme and starring Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington. It was one of the first mainstream Hollywood films to acknowledge HIV/AIDS, homosexuality, and homophobia. For his role as Andrew Beckett, Hanks won the Academy Award for Best Actor at the 66th Academy Awards, while the song "Streets of Philadelphia" by Bruce Springsteen won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.

Andrew Beckett is a senior associate at the largest corporate law firm in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, named "Wyant, Wheeler, Hellerman, Tetlow and Brown". He hides his homosexuality and his status as an AIDS patient from the other members of the firm. A partner in the firm notices a lesion on Beckett's forehead. Although Beckett attributes the lesion to a racquetball injury, it indicates Kaposi's sarcoma, an AIDS-defining condition.
