The 16th Annual Hollywood Film Awards is taking place tonight with lots of celebrities attending and being honored! Dustin Hoffman, Robert De Niro, Ben Affleck, Bradley Cooper, Richard Gere, Marion Cotillard, Amy Adams, Quentin Tarantino, Judd Apatow, Alan Arkin, Bryan Cranston, John Goodman, John Hawkes, Samantha Barks, Quvenzhané Wallis and many others are all scheduled to attend.

This is a private event taking place inside The Beverly Hilton. The ceremony starts at 6:30 p.m. This event is taking place inside the hotel. You're welcome to sit in the lobby and you shouldn't have any issues as long as you're dressed nicely, act like you belong and behave yourself. Fans who run up to celebrities screaming for autographs and/or pictures or asking staff where the celebrities are will probably be shown the door and well behaved fans may be asked to leave as a result.

Pay attention to the celebrities you might want to approach for an autograph and/or picture. Do they look approachable? If so, ask if you can have an autograph and/or picture. Once again, being rude will make it easy for the celebrity to refuse and probably get the fan kicked out. So if you're planning on attending, behave yourself and remind others not to spoil it for others!

The Beverly Hilton is located at 9876 Wilshire Boulevard and directions can be found here.
