There were not many “action films” up for awards at the Hollywood Film Awards 2014 tonight, but we share the winners on Martial Arts Entertainment to show our support for the film industry.
The Hollywood Film Awards® was founded in 1997 by Carlos de Abreu and Janice Pennington and was recently sold to CBS. These awards honor excellence in filmmaking and traditionally signals the Official Launch of the Award Season™.
