“The Hollywood Film Awards are supposed to be the start to the awards season”, he said.

If you consider the acting of the British actress Carey Mulligan who received the Hollywood Actress Award for her role in “Suffragette”, it was an awesome acting done by her. The Swedish actress Alicia Vikander who received the Hollywood Breakout Actress award for “The Danish Girl” also did a good one. The organization prides themselves in being the first awards ceremony of the year.

The winners are all announced in advance and the ceremony is not televised.

The Hollywood Breakout Actor Award was given to Australian star Joel Edgerton for his performance as a corrupt Federal Bureau of Investigation agent in Black Mass.

With Redmayne’s honor, for example, his prize for a “breakout” performance showed his work was gaining traction, but the Hollywood Actor award went to Benedict Cumberbatch for “The Imitation Game”, a film that had a few support early on in the Oscar season (actress Keira Knightley won the Hollywood Supporting Actress Award for her work in the movie last year), but was less noticed later in the year compared to movies such as “Boyhood” and “Birdman”, which were widely viewed as the two top contenders for the Best Picture prize.

And Trainwreck’s Amy Schumer took home the Hollywood Comedy Award for the film she wrote and starred in.

Jane Fonda for her work in Youth won the Supporting Actress Award.

Also in the receiving awards section were celebrity star Robert De Niro, who was privileged for Career Achievement and producer Ridley Scott, who received the Hollywood Producer Award for The Martian.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Corden, who hosts “The Late Late Show”, did not hesitate in poking fun at the awards show.

Asif Kapadia’s moving documentary about singer Amy Winehouse, named Amy, won the Hollywood Documentary Award, while Disney Pixar’s Inside Out won the Hollywood Animation Award.
