David O. Russell next to grab Hollywood Film Awards spotlight
"Silver Linings Playbook" director David O. Russell will receive the Hollywood Director Award at the Hollywood Film Awards on Oct. 22.
Previously announced honorees for the HFAs include Marion Cotillard (actress), Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner (producers), Judd Apatow (comedy), John Hawkes (breakout performance), Quvenzhane Wallis (New Hollywood) and director Peter Ramsey's Rise of the Guardians (animation).
It has also been announced that "Silver Linings" will be shown at the Chicago International Film Festival on Oct. 24, with Russell participating in a Q&A following the screening.
A native of Los Angeles raised by two parents and "Hill Street Blues," Jon Weisman ankled his scriptwriting career and began working for Variety in 2004, subsequently serving as associate editor of features and television reporter before becoming awards editor. He promises not to use this platform to retroactively campaign for Oscars for “The Misfits,” though he’d feel justified in doing so.
