13th Annual Hollywood Film Festival Awards Gala
Last night was the 13th Annual Hollywood Film Fest Awards Gala, held in Beverly Hills.
Hilary Swank & Robert De Niro were both honored for their bodies of work, simply called the "Actress Award" and the "Actor Award". In the "Breakthrough" category, actress Gabourey Sidibe was honored for Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm looking forward to seeing the performances in that movie. I'm sure it's going to be very hard to watch, but I keep hearing great things about it.
It was quite the star-studded evening. Check out the thumbnails below for more fashion from last night! What do you think of the choices? Any favorites?

Diablo Cody Headed Back To High School
She's headed to Sweet Valley High. Diablo Cody(Oscar-winning writer of Juno) has been tapped to write and produce a big-screen adaptation based on the 80's books Sweet Valley High about two identical twins. There were more than 100 books in the series and there was also a TV series based on them that ran from 1994-1997.
Did you read these books when you were growing up? Maybe this will introduce the books to a new generation?

Diablo Cody Says Girls Hate Megan Fox
As I'm sure you are well aware of by now, Megan Fox is starring in a movie called 'Jennifer's Body' that comes out this month. It was written by Oscar-winning writer Diablo Cody (who's pretty notorious herself). Diablo sat down with The Frisky to talk about 'Jennifer's Body' and it's star, Megan (along with Amanda Seyfried).
DC: She really makes people angry! Girls hate her, don’t they?
The Frisky: I don’t know, I just think Megan Fox has a funny sense of humor.
DC: I appreciate it as well. I do not know her very well. Even having worked with her to this extent, I don’t know her very well because she’s very private and mysterious. But I’ve [heard] these things come out of her mouth. I’ve been present for some of these interviews and she is totally fearless. What she is saying is completely genuine. It is not a front. I think people think she’s trying to create some kind of image for herself that she’s not, but she’s a really, truly eccentric person.
The Frisky: I think people get uncomfortable with her because she looks like Angelina Jolie but she says things that make you think.
DC: I don’t think people know how to process her at all. I think it’s one of those things where she does not fit the mold in any way and it freaks people out!
The entire interview is interesting and wide-ranging: Diablo talks about the kiss between Megan's and Amanda's characters, why she (Diablo) doesn't read blogs, therapy, and plenty of other stuff! You can check it out here.
The part about Megan was what really caught my attention, though. Do you think a lot of people (especially women) respond to Megan negatively because they don't know what to make of her?
