‘Gone Girl’ and ‘The Imitation Game’ Triumph at Hollywood Film Awards

Gone Girl and The Imitation Game were the big winners at the 2014 Hollywood Film Awards on Friday night after taking home seven honors between them.

The David Fincher thriller, starring Ben Affleck as a cheating husband who is suspected of killing his wife, earned the top prize of Hollywood Film, while Gillian Flynn took home the Hollywood Screenwriter award for turning her bestselling book into a movie of the same name.

The Imitation Game was a quadruple winner, earning Benedict Cumberbatch Hollywood Actor and Keira Knightley Hollywood Supporting Actress for their portrayals of famous World War Two encryption specialists Alan Turing and Joan Clarke, while filmmaker Morten Tyldum was named Hollywood Director and Alexandre Desplat earned the title of Hollywood Film Composer.

New dad Robert Downey, Jr. took time out of diaper duties to celebrate his The Judge co-star Robert Duvall as Hollywood Supporting Actor, the first award of the night, while Angelina Jolie honored Jack O’Connell with the New Hollywood award for his performance as Olympian-turned-war hero Louis Zamperini in Unbroken.
