On This Day March 21, 1994\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Bruce Springsteen\u00a0<\/strong>added an Oscar to his trophy case, winning the Academy Award for Best Original Song for \u201cStreets of Philadelphia,\u201d which he wrote for the\u00a0Tom Hanks\u00a0<\/strong>movie\u00a0<\/span>Philadelphia<\/span><\/em>. The tune was one of two tracks from the movie to be nominated, the other being \u201cPhiladelphia\u201d by\u00a0Neil Young<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Philadelphia\u00a0<\/span><\/em>was one of the earliest mainstream films to deal with the HIV\/AIDS crisis, and won Hanks an Oscar for Best Actor.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Streets of Philadelphia” also won five Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year. It peaked at\u00a0#9 on the\u00a0<\/span>Billboard\u00a0<\/span><\/em>Hot 100 chart, marking The Boss\u2019 12th and, to date, last top-10 single.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just two years later, Springsteen was nominated for his second Academy Award. This time he earned a nod for Best Original Song for \u201cDead Man Walkin\u2019\u201d from the Sean Penn<\/strong> movie <\/span>Dead Man Walking<\/span><\/em>. It lost to \u201cColors of the Wind\u201d from <\/span>Pocahontas.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Springsteen just kicked off a new leg of his tour with The E Street Band<\/strong>. The tour hits Las Vegas, Nevada, on March 22.<\/span><\/p>\n
