Hollywood Film Awards to Honor DreamWorks Animation’s
“Rise of the Guardians”
with the 2012 “Hollywood Animation Award”

Hollywood, Calif., September 4, 2012 – The 16th Annual Hollywood Film Festival and Hollywood Film Awards, presented by The Los Angeles Times, have announced that DreamWorks Animation’s “Rise of the Guardians” will receive this year’s “Hollywood Animation Award” at the festival’s gala ceremony on October 22, 2012, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Directed by Peter Ramsey and written by Pulitzer Prize winner David Lindsay-Abaire (“Rabbit Hole”), “Rise of the Guardians” is based on the highly acclaimed series of children’s books by William Joyce. Joyce, who won an Oscar® last year for his animated short “The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore,” was named by Newsweek as “one of the top 100 people to watch in the new millennium. “Rise of the Guardians” stars the voice talents of Chris Pine, Alec Baldwin, Hugh Jackman, Isla Fisher and Jude Law. Produced by Christina Steinberg and Nancy Bernstein and executive produced by Guillermo del Toro, Michael Siegel, and William Joyce, the DreamWorks Animation feature film will be released by Paramount Pictures on November 21st.

The announcement was made today by Carlos de Abreu, Founder and Executive Director of the Hollywood Film Awards. “It is a great pleasure to recognize “Rise of the Guardians” as the recipient of our animation award. This piece of Avant-garde animation style surely will be another classic for generations to come.”

Said Bill Damaschke, Chief Creative Officer at DreamWorks Animation, “This award is a testament to the vision and dedication of our director Peter Ramsey and our producers Christina Steinberg and Nancy Bernstein, who saw in William Joyce’s beautifully written books a truly magical world that he was able to bring to life with the help of David Lindsay-Abaire’s wonderful screenplay and, of course, the outstanding work by his entire filmmaking team. We could not be more proud of the movie, or this recognition, and we thank Carlos and the Hollywood Film Awards for this great honor.”

Past recipients of the Hollywood Animation Award include “Cars,” “Rango,” “Ratatouille,” “Toy Story 3,” “UP,” and “Wall-E.”

ABOUT THE HOLLYWOOD FILM AWARDS

Last year alone, our recipients received 12 nominations and 5 Oscars. In the last 9 years, a total of 85 Oscar nominations and 32 Oscars were given to our honorees. The awards are bestowed at a GALA ceremony that takes place at the prestigious Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.
