Fest naming names

Williams, Cruz, Bullock honored at H'wood event

The 10th Annual Hollywood Film Festival and Hollywood Awards will honor Oscar-winning actor Robin Williams with its career achievement award.

Thesps Penelope Cruz and Sandra Bullock will be presented with the actress and supporting actress of the year nods, respectively.

Kudos will be presented as part of the Hollywood Awards gala ceremony on Monday, Oct. 23, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Cruz can next be seen in the oft-delayed Western "Bandidas" and is currently winning raves on the festival circuit for her starring turn in Pedro Almodovar's "Volver." Williams has Barry Levinson's political comedy "Man of the Year" in the can, while Bullock plays novelist Harper Lee in next month's Truman Capote biopic "Infamous."

Fest, co-chaired by producer Paula Wagner and presented by Starz, runs Oct. 18-23. All screenings will be held at Hollywood's ArcLight Theaters. Visit Hollywoodawards.com for more information, including a complete list of award winners.
