Hollywood Film Awards

Beverly Hills, Nov. 3

’Tis the Season

Early awards contend-

ers including Charlize

Theron (3), Shia LaBeouf

and Al Pacino (1) tried on

their acceptance speeches

at the 23rd Hollywood

Film Awards. “I don’t know

if it’s irony or serendip-

ity,” Pacino said from

the Beverly Hilton stage,

beside presenter Francis

Ford Coppola, “but The

Irishman is playing at New

York ’s B e lasc o Th e ate r

— I made my Broadway

debut [there] and this

man here [Coppola] saw

me in that play 50 years

ago, and gave me the part

of Michael Corleone.”

Serendipity continued to

be a theme throughout

the night. “You know those

opportunities that come

along in your life and they

initially seem to make no

sense at all but they end

up among one of your

greatest life experi-

ences?” Renée Zellweger

said of making Judy.

Other honorees included

Cynthia Erivo (2), Antonio

Banderas and Bong Joon

Ho (6). — PIYA SINHA-ROY

Home Sweet Home

Hosted and chaired by

La La Land producer

Gary Gilbert (10) and

his wife, Charlotte (8), at

their Beverly Hills home,

A Sense of Home’s first

Backyard Bowl celebrated

the organization’s fifth

year working to prevent

homelessness by creating

homes for kids aging out

of foster care. Master

of ceremonies Jamie

Foxx (10) introduced

interior designer and

chef Georgie Smith,

co-founder of ASOH

with producer Melissa

Goddard. Shawn Levy

took the stage to present

honorees Irena Medavoy,

Nicole Avant (8), Te d

Sarandos (8) and Jennifer

Flavin Stallone (9), among

others. The evening raised

more than $500,000,

with Leonardo DiCaprio

leading the charge for

donations. “What do you

need?” he shouted, upping

the stakes before catching

the Lakers game on his

iPhone with a group of

basketball fans. “It’s hard

to believe how far we’ve

come,” said Medavoy. “Now

here we are 500 houses

later, giving homes to

people for the first time.”
