HOLLYWOOD FILM AWARDS®: Honoring excellence in the art of filmmaking. Our "film awards" are bestowed on HONOREES, not nominees. The recipients are not competing; they are selected to behonored for their body of work and/or a film(s) that is to be released between January 1 and December 31. In addition, for the recipients of our "film awards craft categories" (aside from evaluating their body of work), we also take into consideration the recommendation of their guilds/societies.
HOLLYWOOD BREAKTHROUGH AWARDS®: Our "breakthrough awards" (breakout) are bestowed on HONOREES who are actors or filmmakers whose work has generated a heightened awareness which will move them to a higher level of recognition.
HOLLYWOOD SPOTLIGHT AWARDS™: Our "spotlight awards" are bestowed on HONOREES who are up-and-coming talent, as well as established talent who stand out as the stars of the future.
SELECTION PROTOCOL: The selection process for our HONOREES takes multiple elements into consideration and involves attending pre-press private industry screenings, press screenings, festival screenings, and research. It also includes the support and participation of established entertainment industry executives, from agents, critics, directors, managers, producers, publicists, screenwriters and studio execs to members of the craft guilds.
