Broadway's Cooper, Moore, and Mulligan to be Honored by Hollywood Film Festival

Broadway's Bradley Cooper, Julianne Moore, and Carey Mulligan are set to receive special honors from the Hollywood Film Festival at the Beverly Hilton on October 26th. Cooper will receive the Hollywood Comedy Award ("The Hangover"), Moore will receive the Hollywood Supporting Actress Award (for "A Single Man," among other films), and Mulligan will receive the Hollywood Breakthrough Actress Award for her performance in "An Education."

Cooper is quickly becoming one of Hollywood's busiest actors. In addition to "The Hangover," he stars in four more films that are also scheduled for release in 2009: "All About Steve," a quirky tale in which he stars with Sandra Bullock; and the anthology film "New York, I Love You," in a segment directed by AlLen Hughes. He was most recently seen in the hit romantic comedy "He's Just Not That Into You," with an all-star ensemble cast, and "Yes Man," with Jim Carrey. His earlier film credits include "Failure to Launch" and "Wedding Crashers." Cooper is also well known to television audiences for his work on several hit series, including a recent recurring role on the critically acclaimed series "Nip/Tuck." In 2006, Cooper made his Broadway debut in the play "Three Days of Rain," opposite Julia Roberts and Paul Rudd.

Moore has appeared on stage in The Vertical Hour and Vanya on 42nd Street; she received Oscar nominations for Far From Heaven, The Hours, The End of the Affair, and Boogie Nights. Moore made her Broadway debut opposite Bill Nighy in The Vertical Hour last winter. Moore is a four-time Academy Award nominee and most recently appeared in "A Single Man."

Mulligan made her Broadway debut in the 2008 US transfer of The Seagull, for which she was nominated for a Drama Desk Award. She launched her professional acting career in the 2005 movie version of the Jane Austen novel "Pride & Prejudice." That same year she appeared in the BAFTA award-winning BBC adaption of Charles Dickens "Bleak House." Since then, her extensive credits include: the TV series "The Amazing Mrs Pritchard" opposite Jane Horrocks, "The Sittaford Mystery", and "ITV's Marple. She appeared in the acclaimed 2007 revival of "The Seagull," the film adaptation of Blake Morrison's memoirs "And When Did You Last See Your Father?" and "My Boy Jack" with Kim Catrall and Daniel Radcliff. She will next appear in Lone Scherfig's new movie "An Education," alongside Peter Sarsgaard and Dominic Cooper, which opens on October 9. The actress also recently filmed "Wall Street 2" and "Never Let Me Go."
