Last year The Hollywood Film Festival awarded its Hollywood Director honors to Katherine Bigelow and the Hollywood Screenwriter nod went to Nora Ephron for Julie & Julia. In 2008 Christopher Nolan & Charles Roven won the Producers Awrds for The Dark Knight, John Patrick Shanley was named Hollywood Screenwriter for Doubt, and Dustin Lance Black took the award for Breakthrough Screenwriter. By these examples alone we can see the Festival is (appropriately) more ‘Hollywood’ than most any other group and do deserve credit for choosing winners that are hard to argue with.
