Amy Schumer to Receive Comedy Honor at Hollywood Film Awards
Amy Schumer's star continues to soar in Hollywood.
The comedienne is being recognized with the Hollywood Comedy Award at the 19th Hollywood Film Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Nov. 1, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Previous Hollywood Comedy Award honorees included Bradley Cooper, Seth Rogen, Judd Apatow and Chris Rock.
It's yet another sign that Schumer has become Hollywood's new it-girl. Her first big screen starring role in "Trainwreck," which she wrote, was a summer hit, and her Comedy Central series "Inside Amy Schumer" earned the blonde an Emmy.
Robert De Niro will receive the Hollywood Career Achievement Award, alongside other honorees in several categories, when the ceremony takes place next month — kicking off "the official launch of the awards season."
"The Hollywood Film Awards is an incredible brand, previewing some of the biggest movies and stars of the year, while launching the award season," Allen Shapiro, CEO of DCP, explained.
