VARIETY"S David Ehrenstein "Suddenly, the Hollywood Awards are emerging as the Iowa caucus of the movie landscape..... The Hollywood Awards' early picks are like spring training for the Oscars, but it remains to be seen if its proclaimed 2005 winners, such as director Sam Mendes ("Jarhead"), Charlize Theron ("North Country") or Joaquin Phoenix ("Walk the Line") are this year's Jamie Foxx."
ET Online says A stunning Charlize Theron, dressed in a low-cut ROBERTO CAVALLI gown with gold accents, picked up the Hollywood Actress of the Year Award for her brave performance in 'North Country,' Photo by celebrity photographer Mark Valinsky.
CBS News quotes Theron talking about the Hollywood Awards (R)"This is nice because it's local, and I think we need more of that kind of local support here. I think we've become very much about ... being the moneymaking machine, and it's nice to kind of take a moment and look at the year's work and celebrate the filmmakers and the actors."

The Hollywood Awards are not televised -- a plus, according to Berry. "I love that it's an awards show that's just for us to come together and talk to each other," she said. "I think it's nice to have a film festival in Hollywood, where it all generates from. That feels really good."
