The 21st annual awards at the Beverly Hilton brought out major star power on Sunday to honor some of the year’s best films, including I, Tonya, Stronger, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Stronger, Mudbound, and The Big Sick. Over its 21 years, more than 120 honorees have gone on to score Oscar nominations and/or wins.
Angelina Jolie had heads turning with an ensemble that recalled old Hollywood glamour in a Jenny Packham silver silk robe gown and matching shoes, along with red lipstick and nails.
Jolie was being honored for her new movie First They Killed My Father along with writer Loung Ung with the foreign language film award. The women dedicated the award to Cambodian artists today and the crew members who were brave enough to make the film in the midst of a repressive political climate.

But no one stole the show like Kate Winslet and Allison Janney. After Winslet told the crowd she’d love to be like Janney and even lock lips, Janney happily obliged. Both women were being honored, with Winslet taking home the top actress award for Wonder Wheel, and Janney taking home supporting actress for I, Tonya.
Andra Day and Common performed their Hollywood Song Award-winning anthem “Stand Up for Something” from the film Marshall. Writer Diane Warren accepted the award, speaking out about the timeliness of the song’s anti-hate message.
Jake Gyllenhaal dedicated his Hollywood Actor Award to Jeff Bauman, the Boston Marathon terrorist attack survivor he plays in Stronger. And Harrison Ford received a standing ovation when he came forward to present the Hollywood Producer Award to the team behind Blade Runner 2049.
